17 weeks

Weeks: 17

Weight Gain: I think I still weight about the same, maybe gain a few pounds. I thought the doctor said at my last appointment that I had gained a few, but I should really ask next time. I would have thought by now I would be gaining more (especially considering how big my belly is!).

Symptoms: The nausea is pretty much gone except for an occasional morning. I still have headaches but it seems like as long as I drink lots of water, keep eating regularly and take breaks from the computer, it is ok. I do have pains in my lower back/butt which I think are a sciatic nerve but from my google research, it sounds like I don't have it that bad. If I just sleep or lay on my side, it seems to help.

Belly Size: No official measurements, but I measured with TP and I was 11 squares. It seems HUGE.

Baby Size: 5 inches long and 5 oz in weight (size of a Turnip)

Next Appointment: Nov 7 for our big ultrasound and then Nov 16 for my next doctor appointment.

I have started to feel like baby kicks now, but it's not hard at all. Maybe that means it really is a dainty little girl.

I also apologize for not updating as much anymore. I've been busy with lots of things in my life right now which includes becoming a Scentsy consultant. I love it so far and definitely contact me if you are interested!!! I am enjoying being busy and the blog just hasn't really inspired me lately, so if you want to know what's going on with me, well pick up a phone and call me!
