Official 17 week mark today! (Or 18 weeks depending on if you go by the U/S tech's measurements). All those pregnancy websites say that baby is about 5oz and 5 inches. So far this pregnancy has been "easy". A had a lot of nausea in the first trimester and I still get nausea in the morning if I don't get enough sleep or don't eat protein right away. i feel the baby moving often! Multiple times a day and especially at night. (The usual). Gained about 9lbs so far. (With Julian as this time I had gained 11lbs). Don't have as huge as an appetite as i did in the first trimester, but still trying to eat as healthy as possible. (Aside from those ice cream drumsticks I bought yesterday...ahem)
I'm still in awe every time baby moves. Nothing really seems much different than when I was pregnant with Julian. So, no guesses on gender. I mean, I think I'm leaning toward boy simply because I already have one and that's what I'm used to. Either way, we find out on Wednesday, June 26th! I've never one to be patient enough to keep it a surprise until the baby is born. Wish I could, but like the typical American that I am, I want it now! It will be nice to be able to narrow down a name, too! (And let's be honest, I really want to be able to buy a few baby items ASAP.)
And I leave you with my 17/18 week tiny baby bump:
