17 weeks

(note: for some reason I accidentally left my 16 weeks post in draft mode 

which is why it's just publishing!)

Happy Thursday!

I look forward to Thursday's now, like most people look forward to Friday's.

Baby Girl is now 17 weeks old & the size of an Onion!

I am terrible with these phone selfies!

Fun Stuff:

Gender: It's a Girl!

Name: Undecided

Fun Facts: 

• Her rubbery cartilage is now turning to bone.

• And she's growing some meat on those bones — putting on some fat.

• She's growing a stronger, thicker umbilical cord, too.

Sleep: Horrible! I'm still making frequent trips to the bathroom. I'm tossing & turning all night long. I do finally sleep in til about 10 or 11 now though. And I still haven't bought that body pillow! 

Clothes: Nothing has changed from last week. I am still living in my jeggings & leggings. I try to wear any shirts that are longer. 

Cravings: No food cravings...this week it was Tahitian Fruit Punch! (It's caffeine free!)

Symtoms: This entire week I have either woken up with a headache or went to bed with one. Tylenol is my new friend. I also wake up with slight lower back pains.  Also I'm getting sudden bursts of tiredness in my legs (if that makes sense). I can walk from the bedroom to the kitchen & suddenly my legs feel like they're about to give out as if I just ran a mile. If I sit down real quick, the pain goes away. I also still have a stuffy nose all day and random moments of shortness of breath. And I can't forget the very itchy skin!

Best Moment of the Week: Finding a few shops on Etsy that I will be buying tons of bows from & it won't cost me a fortune. 

What I'm looking forward to: Feeling those flutters! Still no movement yet. Also looking forward to next weeks ultrasound. And...still tossing names back & forth.

What I miss: Getting some good, comfortable sleep!
