17 Weeks



How far along: 17 weeks 4 days
Total weight gain: 10lbs, I'm guessing I'll find out for sure at my Dr appointment on Monday
Maternity clothes: I've been wearing my maternity shorts from Destination Maternity all week plus a few maternity tops, I can fit most of my non-maternity tops but I'm enjoying the way my maternity tops fit my growing bump
Stretch marks: None yet, still using my belly balm by the honest company every night before I go to bed
Sleep: Sleeping great this week, getting a little tired of having to get up to use the bathroom but having no problem falling right back to sleep.  My hips have been feeling a little sore from sleeping on my sides all night long
Best moment of the week: My mom came into town for a short visit on her way to Maine for the summer and we got another sneak peek at our little boys
Miss anything: Not having to think about what I'm eating, there seem to be lots of things you aren't supposed to eat while pregnant so trying to remember all those things while I'm out and about can be tiring
Movement: I'm feeling a little something each day I think.  I have been feeling a little tickle in the same part of my stomach through out the week which I believe are my boys!
Symptoms: A tight belly by the end of the day, I continue to feel like my stomach is being stretched and my muscles are sore.  Also sore hips after sleeping all night on my side.
Food cravings: Salads with strawberries, blueberries and chicken apple sausage (all natural, no nitrates).  
Anything making you quesy or sick: I was only quesy once this week and I think it was just from not eating soon enough
Have you started showing: Yes
Gender: Two Boys!!
Labor signs: No
Belly button in or out: In, but its starting to look awfully shallow and funny
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody most of the time: I have been happy all week especially getting to spend time with my mom!
Looking forward to: Planning the nursery and getting this rocking moose I ordered for the nursery

15 & 16 Weeks

It's time to play catch up.  I wasn't able to post last week because I was down in FL at my parents attending a friends wedding and this week I was slow posting because I was busy getting back to work and getting my house back in working order.   So now it's time for weeks 15 and 16!

How far along: 15 weeks 3 days

Sleep: Sleep has been good this week, still waking up 1-2 times a night to use the bathroom
Best moment of the week: Getting to come home and visit my family and celebrating my friends wedding!
Miss anything: My normal energy level.  I have been exhausted this week taking naps in the afternoon after my mom and I have been out running errands
Movement: No, not yet.  I hoping for feel something in the next couple of weeks
Symptoms: I'm still taking medicine for morning sickness but I've only been sick once this week so thats an improvement! Also a tight stretching belly

16 WEEKS

How far along: 16 weeks 5 days
Total weight gain: 8-9lbs I think, I weighed myself on my home scale. 
Maternity clothes: Wearing my maternity shorts all week and my gap pure body tanks all week. 
Stretch marks: No,  Still using my  belly balm at night before going to bed.  
Sleep: Sleep has been great this week.  I have been having crazy dreams this week and am still waking up 1-2 times a night but have no problem falling back to sleep. 
Best moment of the week: Finding out we are having 2 BOYS!!!
Miss anything: I'm not really missing anything this week due to the pregnancy but I am missing cool weather this week.  We are having a heat wave this week and temperatures have been up around 100 feeling like 110, that is way too hot for me!
Movement: I'm not sure but I think I have felt a few flutters this week but nothing consistent that I could say was for sure my boys. 
Symptoms: I'm still taking medicine for morning sickness I'm down to only 9 more days of my medicine so I hope my morning sickness eases soon.  I've been feeling exhausted most of this week and my belly still feels like it is stretching (which I feel might just be a feeling I should get used to)
Food cravings: I have been loving Kraft mac n cheese in the spirals, not the normal elbow shape.  I haven't eaten this in years, but enjoyed it for lunch a few times this week.
Anything making you quesy or sick: Not this week =)
Have you started showing: I'll say yes
Gender predictions: Baby Boys x2!!
Labor signs: No
Belly button in or out: In
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody most of the time: I have been mostly happy this week, but had a few moments of just feeling teary, which I blame on all the hormones. 
Looking forward to: Picking names for a little guys, planning their nursery and starting a registry!
