Heartburn, Maternity Pants, Pretzel Bites like WHOA


How far along: 17 weeks... On Sunday I'm in month 5 of this pregnancy!

Weight: 164ish... I've haven't gained much weight, yet. I started out at 160.

Clothing: Maternity pants and some of my regular pants with the fabulous Bella Band from Target. I'm going out today to get more maternity pants because they are way more comfy!

Baby purchases: None by me. My sister, Lindsay, bought a onesie for the baby at Christmas time.


This week I did get some hand-me-downs from my wonderful sister, Katie. A jumparoo, vibrating seat, activity play mat, Ergo carrier, Moby wrap and other little things. I'm SO grateful. We are also using my sister-in-law, Alecia's, crib that she used with her two kiddos. Just a bonus having wonderful people in your life!

I did start creating my Amazon registry/wish list.

Sleep: I'm getting tired very early. And this week was school vacation week. I have been going to sleep by 8:30... I know, what a bore! The only downside is that I wake up so early! (Usually by 6) But on the plus side, I haven't been needing to get up and pee multiple times during the night. Only once! That's a plus!

Movement: None that I know of. Sometimes I think I'll be feeling something, but it's probably just a gas bubble. :(

Food Cravings/Aversions: I am actually really excited about eating now. The first few months were TOUGH to say the least. I had to make myself eat. I didn't want to. So when I didn't I felt worse. Thankfully, I'm so much better! I find that I have cravings but as soon as I eat them I don't want it again for some time. Today, I really want those little pretzel bites they have at the mall.

Symptoms: Really bad heartburn. I need to pick up some more Tums. Also smells are driving me crazy. Chris got me flowers for Valentine's Day and I feel really bad, but they smell horrible! It just one of these really great side effects of having a life inside of you!

No matter these crazy feelings I'm feeling I feel lucky to have this amazing gift from God. I am lucky. I have a wonderful, Godly husband who would do anything for me. I just can't wait to officially start our family when this baby is born.
