17 Weeks & It's a BOY!

I'm 17 weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: I’m 17 Weeks, 4 days

Size of Baby: Baby Astacio is the size of an onion

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 4 lbs

Maternity Clothes: Just about there…worn a few things, but it still feels a little funny. So ready for sundresses.

Gender: It’s a boy! (We’re about 96% on the name, so I’ll wait til we’re 100% to announce!)

Movement: Feeling him a little bit each day, mostly at night!

Sleep: Eh, it takes me awhile to get comfortable. No sleeping on my belly, so adjusting to sleeping on my sides all the time… challenging for someone who was a stomach-sleeper!

What I miss: Nothing really, LENT is over, so I enjoyed a DIET COKE yesterday at the Reds Game! AH YES.

Cravings: I finally got some watermelon!!! Delicious. And Starburst Jelly Beans!

Symptoms: I feel like my belly is really trying to stick out there & every now and then a headache, but nothing to complain about!

Best Moment this week: “Seeing” the baby for the first time-such a miracle. Watching Roberto’s face was also so cute. And of course it was exciting to find out that Baby A is a boy, even though soooo many people thought girl! Tricky boy. J

As you know, I had purchased some girl clothes before we knew, so those got returned Wednesday morning, and it was time for a boy shopping spree!

Old Navy & TJ Maxx...great for baby deals!

Then, Thursday, we had our church small group over, so I made some BLUE cupcakes (and forgot to take a picture of the finished product in my pretty cupcake rack!)

This past weekend, my mom and I went to Knoxville. We spent some time with Kylie on Friday night. We had dinner at Olive Garden (Yum!), saw Soul Surfer (so good!) and then had Menchie's Yogurt (my fave)! Then Saturday, we did some more baby shopping as you can see above! Once again, Old Navy clearance! Great buys since baby boy will grow so quickly.

And I just had to show these little gray boat shoes up close. I love them. I think I might already have his Easter outfit picked out for next year (HA)!

Have a great week. :)
