I think my stomach stayed about the same though those couple weeks and then bam! at the end of week 15 this is what happened:
Also, at the end of 15 weeks, we went to Fetal Studios with our parents and a couple of my siblings and Pierce's brother-in-law and sister to find out the gender. I was nervous that they wouldn't be able to tell but sure enough we are having a little BOY! I will post pictures from the ultrasound and the one from our doctor's this week that will be 3D!
I had a hunch that it was a boy but then people were saying if you are really sick- it means a girl and I felt like I get sicker the longer I am pregnant.
And suddenly, the baby boy (who we may or may not have a name for) decided since it was known he is a 'he', he would also start popping out. Here is the end of week 16:
I also made that chalkboard from a blog I found from Pinterest. I am going to take a picture with it from now on each week with a fun little fact about what's going on with Baby Boy. (It's also a corkboard so I can pin fun pictures later if I want!)
Questions:
How far along? 17 Weeks, 2 says
Total weight gained/lost: 6 pounds gained (yikes! it went from 3 to 6 within a week- normal???)
Maternity clothes? still just rocking the maternity leggings so far and proudly (but uncomfortably) still can fit into my jeans with a rubber band if needed.
Stretch marks? Just on my girls now... which is weird haha!
Sleep: waking up every.single.night. every 2-3 hours! I get uncomfortable, sick and hot during the night.
Best moment this week: realizing it had been a few days since I had thrown up-- then I threw up!
Miss Anything? not having a headache constantly and I already miss sleeping on my stomach :(
Movement: not yet- waiting for this moment any day now!
Food cravings: still just salty things, Costco hotdogs (only thing I didn't throw up yesterday) and fruit snacks.
Anything making you queasy or sick: nothing particular which is the most frustrating part about it I guess
Have you started to show yet: I'm gonna go with yes -- although a really nice neighbor the other day said not only could she not tell but that I look like I am 18 still haha!
Gender: BOY!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, although I think Pierce would disagree haha.
Looking forward to: movements, I lay down in the shower to see if I can get the baby to move if I poke him but nothing still.
