Week 17

The past couple weeks have been insane, literally. We spent December 15-29 in California with our families for Christmas. It was a much needed vacation with great company. During that little trip, we also had a baby shower! Originally, it was meant to be a normal-come congratulate us baby shower, but as most of you have probably already seen from Facebook and such...it turned into a gender reveal (: We are pleased to announce that our little baby is no longer a sea monkey, and is now a baby GIRL! We are beyond excited and cannot wait for the next five months to fly by so that we can finally meet our tiny explorer.

Oh and by the way, I'm going to start doing progress pictures (finally) because there's actually progress to be recorded now!

How far along: 17 weeks, holy moly!!

Due date: June 10, 2014

Total weight gain: about 8 pounds :o

Maternity clothes: Sometimes, I don't "need" them, but dang their comfy. My mom got me a wardrobe full for Christmas!

Stretch marks: Nope, and now thanks to my amazing mother-in-law I have special creams and such to prevent them from ever coming! 

Sleep: Like a baby, until I have to use the bathroom. (Real life problems) 

Best moment of this week: Baby gender reveal and our two year anniversary! 

Miss anything: I miss not feeling fat, but it's all for a good cause right? I'm in the awkward stage of "you don't look pregnant, you just look like you need to suck it in."

Movement: Nope, maybe it'll all feel real after I start feeling movement. Right now it still (even after 17 weeks) hasn't fully hit me that this is real life. 

Food cravings: Meh, nothing in particular. But when I'm hungry..I am H-U-N-G-R-Y. 

Anything making you queasy or nauseous: Motion, being in a car is miserable lately. 

Have you started to show yet: Yes! A little. 

Gender: GIRL! 

Labor signs: Nooo

Belly button in or out: In. 

Wedding ring on or off: On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy, eager, yet still emotional. 

Oh and last Saturday was our two year wedding anniversary! We spent it on board the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. I married the most amazing man and I enjoy every second spent. Cheers to eternity, my love.
