17 Weeks

How far along? 17 Weeks 5 Days

Maternity clothes?  Just purchased some more shirts this week! Yay!

Stretch marks? Only the ones from the previous, so far.

Sleep:  A little less often but still sleeping a lot.

Best moment this week:  Listening on the Prenatal Listener, like always and more movement!

Miss Anything? Blackberry Merlot- mmmmmm

Movement: Getting stronger as the days go by!    

Food cravings: Chicken and noodles.   

Anything making you queasy or sick:  I woke up with morning sickness only one time this week.  Spent a couple minutes with my head in the toilet, but it wasn’t too bad.      

Have you started to show yet?  I’m having TWINS, I’m beyond showing…

Symptoms:  Heartburn is here full force.  Nothing seems to help.  Grew another 2 inches.  The babies are in the middle of a growth spurt so, lots of growing lately.  I’m having little pains but no worries, just growing pains, it’s normal!

Gender:  TBA

Labor Signs: None

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: A little moody and emotional.

Looking forward to: MONDAY!  

Milestones:  This week, they have mastered some simple reflexes such as swallowing, sucking, and blinking.  Fat is forming underneath their skin and will continue to do so in later months of pregnancy.  This helps prepare them for temperature change from inside the womb to the outside world!  They are approximately 5.1 inches and the size of onions and weigh around 5.9 oz. apiece.

Thoughts from Daddy: Well, now seems to be around the time that Lamai’s beginning to notice, physically, that there are babies in there. So, even as the physical challenges are just beginning, I wish I could do something to help L Other than that though, everything is going well and I can’t wait to find out what gender(s) they may be.
