Monday Morning Pop Tart

Week 17: Hey Pop Tart! We celebrated your Dad’s first Father’s Day this week. =) He already loves you so much and I know he’ll make a great Dad once you’re here! I took him out for dinner Friday night, then we celebrated your Grandpa Call Saturday, and your Grandpa Pressnall Sunday. You’re fortunate to have some pretty great guys in your life already! You tagged along on Kayla and I’s fun day last week too. There’s been several times I’ve felt what I thought could be you wiggling around in there but I’m not sure. Feel free to make it a little more distinct! =)

Highlights

How Far Along: 17 weeks

Size of baby: Sweet Potato

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Too much, I'm certain of it. I'm scared of my appt. later this week and the lecture I'll no doubt get.

Maternity Clothes: I'm wearing mostly maternity stuff now.

Gender: We're going to be suprised!

Movement: There's been more and more instances where I've thought it might be movement, but I'm not positive and it never lasts quite long enough to tell for sure.

Sleep: I'm sleeping ok. Some nights are better than others but all-n-all I've done well lately.

Symptoms: Had my first real bout of heartburn. No bueno. Other than that it's just some pretty uncool headaches, more back/hip pain, and the occasional nausea (this week has been much better in that department though).

What I miss: Nothing really right now
Cravings: Candy, sandwiches, basically anything and everything.

Best Moment this week: Maybe my birthday...

What I am looking forward to: Feeling movement and knowing for sure that's what it is.
*UPDATE: I'm 99.9% positive I'm feeling baby movements now. Little thumps throughout the day on my lower left side!!
