17 Weeks

How far along? 17 Weeks! 

How big is baby? A chipmunk, so cute!! Pomegranate, game controller, white onion, 5.1 inches and 5oz. 

Weight gain: I'm not sure! I'll find out in a couple weeks. 

Symptoms: Headaches still. My skin has been super itchy lately. The last couple days I HAVE NOT been feeling well and I'm not sure what's up. My stomach just hasn't been happy with what I've been eating I guess. I feel really sluggish. I know I only have the tiniest, non existent bump ever.. but the little tummy that I have grown is definitely making every day things difficult even already. (man am I in for it later on when I actually have a giant bump). I HATE flipping over when I'm sleeping. But I seem to be doing it a lot lately. 

Sleeping: Sleep is becoming more and more difficult. One thing that had been helping me fall a sleep almost instantly though is turning on a bob ross episode hahah. But for real it is so relaxing and helps me a ton. Paul will turn it on and usually in 5 minutes or less I'm out. He always takes a screen shot of the finished master piece at the end so I can look at it in the morning which makes me happy. 

Food Cravings: I haven't really had much of any cravings. I have a grilled cheese sandwich almost every day which is yummy. I've been loving a bowl of bananas, blueberries and chia seeds. Yesterday I ate like 10 dove chocolates. But that's not really anything abnormal haha. 

Food Aversions: I just can't really eat anything that other people have made unless it's in a restaurant or whatever. I know that's probably weird because in a restaurant it's probably 10x more sick. 

Miss anything? I miss Paul right now. He's interviewing for a job at the moment. 

Gender: I still think it's a girl but the thought of a boy gets more and more exciting. Seriously as soon as we picked out a couple names we love for a little boy, it got really exciting. 2 weeks and we find out! 

Maternity Clothes: Nope! 

Movement: Those tiny flutters and bumps still! So fun. I haven't felt a big roll since last week. 

Random: I can't use the shampoo and conditioner that I used my first trimester. It makes me SO sick! 

I've been listening to a lot of Beatles and Bahamas lately. Hope this baby enjoys some of the best!

What I'm looking forward to: My next appointment of course! I also ordered some oil online so I'm super excited to get that to help with this weird itching. 

Best moment this week: Free Bahama Bucks! They opened one in Provo and if we end up living near there we will be in trouble because I will be going every day. 

Also Paul getting second interview with an awesome company in Orem! We are hoping for the very best but know if this one doesn't work out, there will be more opportunities for us.
