I've exploded this week. Apparently, baby wanted to come out and say hi! :)
How far along? today I am 17 weeks and 3 days
Baby is the size of a(n): turnip. I really wonder who comes up with these size measurements.
Food cravings/aversions: Up until this week I only wanted to eat mexican food and now it gags me. Boo. Also, I am way more hungry this week. Might explain the baby pop.
Sleeping: Also this week began the nightly middle of the night bathroom trips. I normally spend a good 30 minutes debating with myself that I really don't have to pee. Maybe if I cut out that 30 minute pep talk I could sleep better.
Milestones: The belly pop. Wait...is that not a milestone? Well I consider it one because now I actually look pregnant and not just like I haven't lost my baby weight from LB. Seriously just last week I had someone do a double take when I said I was pregnant. As if I would not cover up my fat if it wasn't a baby. Geez.
Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes: I don't gag anymore chewing gum. Well I'll take that back I still gag if its mint flavored gum but all others I can chew with no problems.
I figured for your voting purposes and because its fun to compare I will show you what I looked like while 17ish weeks pregnant with LB. I can't tell if I look any different. Really. I keep going back and forth on this one. (Thank goodness this pregnancy I use better lighting for these pictures and take it from my better side.)
Anything you all want to know? And thanks for your ideas on vbac's. I'm so thankful my doctor is so laid back and not pressuring me to decide anytime soon.
Wow, 17 weeks already! I think you look just about the same as last time. Maybe you're carrying just a bit lower this time around? You look great! That's funny that someone was surprised you were pregnant. I've had that happen and it's like, seriously? DId they really think I was just fat in a really weird way?
ReplyDeleteyou look tiny! oh, i opted out of the vbac in case you wanted to know. my first c-section was an emergency one, and i didn't want to deal with the trauma of the chance of more emergencies. but you have to do what you feel most comfortable with!
