Wordless Wednesday

17 weeks

Adelyn wanted to join Mama again for the weekly picture!

How Far Along: 17 weeks, 3 days  {9.30.12}

Size of baby: Baby Bangert #2 is the size of a onion

Heartbeat: 140bpm at 16 week appointment

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +11lbs

Maternity Clothes: For the most part I’m wearing maternity pants.  I went through my tote of maternity clothes today to add a few more things to my closet that fit a little better!

Gender Predictions: Kyle is 100% sure we’re having a boy, like I’ve said in previous weeks, because my pregnancy has been different it makes me wonder if it’s a boy, but I know that isn’t necessarily an indicator. We find out in just 2 weeks!

Movement: Just a few flutters every now & then, nothing too consistent.

Sleep: I’m sleeping great…once I get my pillows situated! And I’m still hitting the hay fairly early! Last night I almost made it to 10pm and that doesn’t happen very often these days!

What I miss: When everything in my closet used to fit me! But now that I added my maternity clothes to my closet, that shouldn’t be a problem anymore! And sleeping on my back.

Cravings: candy corn & peanuts! I love sweet & salty. I satisfied that craving when we tailgated on Saturday at the Iowa game! Yum!

Symptoms: The tiredness is still hanging around. I’m also starting to notice my skin isn’t so clear these days. I can’t complain much though, its nothing like it was when I was pregnant with Adelyn.

Best Moment this week: Knowing that in 2 weeks we’ll know whether Adelyn is getting a baby brother or sister! We had a fairly “normal” week, although I do have to say it was nice to have the Hawkeyes win on Saturday!
