WEEK 17

How far along? 17 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: still 8 lbs. +

Maternity clothes? Bought more maternity pants and got some other 

maternity clothes from a friend of mine :) 

Sleep: Still sleeping like a rock. 

Miss Anything? same stuff as before, certain foods 

Movement: I'm not sure if I feel anything yet. Sometimes I think I feel something, but it doesn't feel like butterflies or anything it's usually described as in books. What is it supposed to feel like?

Food cravings: cheese

Anything making you queasy or sick: nope

Symptoms: headaches :(

Mood: Happy

Energy: Feeling pretty good overall, just getting a little bit more tired than usual. 

Looking forward to: feeling first movements

Favorite Moment: 

We drove out to LA last weekend to visit Tommy's sister, who just had her little baby boy. Holding him in my arms and seeing Tommy hold him, made me even more excited about having our own. I can't believe it's less than 6 months away!!!! Time is going by so fast and it's crazy to think about that I'm already in week 17! So exciting....


On Sunday we took a little drive out to the beach. We were walking along the sand and were wondering if our baby might be able to hear the roar of the waves, since his hearing should be developed pretty well by now. We can't wait to take him to the beach for the first time when he's here!

WEEK 16

How far along? 16 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 8 lbs. +, up from 122 lbs to 130 lbs

Maternity clothes? Bought my first maternity pants and haven't worn anything else since then. Much more comfortable than trying to squeeze into my tight jeans.

Sleep: Still sleep like a rock. 

Miss Anything? snowboarding, seeing people drive up in the mountains with their boards strapped to their cars really makes me wanna get out there too

Movement: no movement yet…should be able to feel something soon though

Food cravings: sweets

Anything making you queasy or sick: nope

Symptoms: little bit of heartburn and little bit of nausea but overall I feel pretty good

Mood: Happy

Energy: I'm feeling really really good. Sometimes I get a little tired if I work too much and don't take enough breaks but other than that I feel great.

Looking forward to: feeling first movements

Favorite Moment: Funny conversation between Tommy and I

Me (looking at my belly in front of the mirror): Honey do I look pregnant yet?

Tommy: Yes babe, of course you do.

Me: I don't know, I feel like my belly should be a lot bigger by now.

Tommy: It definitely has grown already.

Me: I know, but I feel like it grew really fast a couple of weeks ago and now it stopped and looks the same. Shouldn't it be twice as big as two weeks ago by now?

Tommy: Stop worrying, you still have plenty of time to walk around with a big belly. Enjoy the time while it's not too uncomfortable.

Me: Yeah, I guess you're right. I just wish I could feel some movement or my belly would grow faster so I know everything is ok.

Well, we went back to the doctor yesterday. They took my weight and listened to the baby's heart beat. Everything is normal and as it's supposed to be :) I'm actually gaining weight quite fast, so it's good that my belly isn't twice as big already than two weeks ago, otherwise I would really need to stop eating so much. 

Week 15 – Bring on the Honeymoon Trimester :)

Sorry I've been slacking to update the blog last week. It was just hard being sick and taking pictures while I wasn't feeling well. But here's the next post.

How far along? 15 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 7 lbs. +

Maternity clothes? I definitely need maternity clothes now. Haven't found any comfy pants yet, so I'm in sweat pants 90% of the time. Can't wait to go to LA this week to go shopping at the maternity section at H&M :)

Sleep: I'm sleeping like a rock. Sometimes I don't even wake up to pee anymore.

Miss Anything? having a beer or a glass of wine :( Now that I don't feel nauseous anymore I'm definitely missing to have a drink once in a while

Movement: no movement yet…sometimes I think I feel something but I think it's just gas.

Food cravings: same as before…Pizza, Pasta

Anything making you queasy or sick: nope

Symptoms: get out of breath easily and I can watch my belly grow now

Mood: mainly happy now...had a couple of times last week where I got mad and stormed out of the room. I almost feel like a teenager again, hard to control my emotions sometimes.

Energy: I'm feeling really really good. Almost normal again. I have a lot more energy again and am really happy I get to enjoy the "Honeymoon Period" of my pregnancy now!

Looking forward to: our first Pregnancy Group meeting and meeting other couples

Favorite Moment: 

I'm really happy I'm feeling better again. After being stuck in bed with a cold on top of feeling exhausted anyway, it's really good to feel normal again. I have a lot more energy to do my work and stuff around the house. My overall mood is better and I just feel a lot happier. So bring on the Honeymoon Trimester :)
