17 Weeks


I'm so bad at updating my baby bump blog! I'm lucky to even get my chalkboard done and a photo every week let alone get a blog post done. We are so happy to be in our new house and we are looking forward to having my parents here for a visit in a couple of weeks! It has been so beautiful here and we have loved every minute of exploring our new back yard. On top of that we are just minutes from Shawnigan Lake so this weekend we took the boat out to enjoy Daddy's Day! I just have to say, that being able to stay at home with my little boy has been just the best blessing. Being there to watch him grow up and not miss a minute of his life is just so special to me and I'm so thankful for my hard working husband who makes this possible! Here are some cute photos from our Daddy's Day boat ride!





Speaking of baby bumps....here is how I am feeling this week!

How far along?  17 weeks, 4 daysTotal weight gain:  Well the first five pounds I gained was basically me getting back to my normal weight. Breastfeeding Austin made me lose so much weight and I was so thin that none of my skinny clothes even fit me! So after that, I have gained about 7 pounds.
Maternity clothes? A few old navy maternity tanks and shorts.
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: I love going to sleep with our window open here. It is just so QUIET!
Best moment this week? Getting to hear our sweet little baby's heartbeat
Miss anything? No, I am feeling so good now. No longer sick in the mornings and no longer dog tired (just normal, running after a toddler tired)
Movement: I am beginning to feel some little flutters and rolls in there!
Food cravings? Sour wine gums
Anything making you queasy or sick? I just feel that way if I'm hungry
Have you started to show yet? Yes. I should really remove this question haha
Gender prediction: Girl
Labor signs: No
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Finally getting my second ultrasound.

I've also been compiling a list of a few things that we will need for baby number two...stay tuned for that eventually!
