Baby #3- 17 weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 17 weeks

Size of baby: 5 inches and around 5 ounces (size of a turnip)

Total Weight Gain:  3 pounds

Maternity Clothes: I've started wearing some maternity jeans.  Some of my regular jeans still fit, but I'm sure in the next few weeks it will all be maternity.  Can still wear regular tops

Gender: ??

Movement: Felt some flutters this week

Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty good.  I just want to sleep all day long.  Not sure if I ever feel really rested.  I started sleeping with the pregnancy pillow this week and it has helped with the round ligament pain.

What I miss: Feeling rested and just feeling like myself

Cravings: Nothing really.  Nothing sounds good to eat at all.  It really is a struggle to find something that doesn't make me want to throw up.  Although last weekend I woke up wanting fried pickles, so Matthew looked up how to make them and made them at 11am for me!

Symptoms: Heartburn, nausea, exhaustion, round ligament pain 

This baby is really making me feel so different than the other two.  I threw up daily from the moment I found out until about a week ago.  I still have moments of nausea throughout the day and I have to be asleep by 9pm.

Best Moments this week: Feeling little baby kicks.  I also love that the kids are really starting to see my growing belly and get excited about the baby.  They kiss and talk to the baby daily and it just makes my heart melt.  Mason is constantly saying "hi" and "I love you" to the baby and wants to know exactly how big he/she is.  Evie thinks she has a baby in her tummy too.  Every night before bed Mason says it is time to talk to the baby, so I lay on the floor and they both blow raspberries, kiss, and talk to the baby.  Such fun!
