17 weeks

How far along? 17 weeks 

Maternity clothes: i have a couple maternity tops (one was given to me by my little sister who gave me a bag of her clothes she wanted me to look thru before she donated them....apparently when she bought this top she didn't know it was maternity wear lol). but i tend to wear longer tops anyway so they fit over my belly well. no more jeans for me tho...unless i use a rubber band to hold the button. 

Sleep: still the worst. 

Worst moment this week: scarlett had a high fever a couple days this week and then once she was better i got sick...yesterday was awful. terrible headache, sore throat, fever, could not keep my eyes open and scarlett barely wanted to do anything without me. 

or.... on monday i got a call from my dr saying the neural tube defect test came back positive. which just means there is more of a chance something is wrong....one of the babies may have spina bifida...or it could be something much more common and easily fixable. i have an ultrasound scheduled next week to check. i was surprised and a bit nervous when i got the call but at this point i'm really not very worried at all. honestly i'm just looking forward to the sonogram and finding out for sure if baby A is a boy or girl! so i would say my sick day was the worst.

Best moment this week: my little girl is the most loving person i have ever been around. she is constantly telling me how much she loves me and is so very cuddly and affectionate. 
it's hard to pick out one best moment. 


Symptoms: i pee like every 20 minutes. NO JOKE. sometimes more. as in more often. and fatigue. those are my biggest symptoms this week. i'm not really feeling nauseous anymore but i'm not feeling great either. my belly and boobs itch a lot. using lots of coconut oil! 

Cravings: honestly i crave food all the time when i'm not pregnant. nothing i've craved while pregnant  so far has been unusual for me. except the coffee i mentioned last week. 

Miss anything? sleeping. feeling normal on a consistent basis. 

Movement: yes! i'm pretty sure i've felt them move this week! just little flutters...quickening i think it's called? but i love it and can't wait for the kicks! 

Looking forward to: the weekend! alex worked parts of both saturday and sunday last week....(he has never had to work on a sunday before but he had a crazy busy week) he will have the whole weekend free tho and i am so looking forward to it. gonna try to get some fun mini projects done around the house. and the ultrasound on tuesday! 




the last two weeks have been gloomy outside so lighting has been bad. and yes i'm
wearing the same thing i was last week. oh and you can sort of, kind of see my
scar from my surgeries. woop woop.
