17 weeks!

Super late, and way closer to 18 weeks at this point, but I'm enjoying some nice time off from work next week and thought I'd get a tweener in between 17-19 weeks.
 
Only 12 more days until we find out baby's sex (but who is counting?!) Super excited and would be happy either way.
 
 
 
How far along?: 17 weeks, 4 days
Weight gained?: 7 pounds
Showing yet?: Yep!
Clothes?: Maternity pants, finding that maternity tops make me look pregnant, whereas non-maternity tops make me look chubby!
Cravings?: Smoothies & salad, not bad, right?
Aversions?: Having a hard time finding things that sound appetizing.
Sleep?: Eh, been better. I've been struggling with a couple of colds that make sleeping hard.
Gender?: 12 days! Back to thinking that little one is a boy, but who knows. Only one way to tell and that includes waiting!
Movement?: Yes! Hubs even felt baby kick last night, which was amazing and super early. Strong little thing, just like it's sister!
Symptoms?: Fatigue, as expected when pregnant with a toddler ;)
Looking forward to?: Thanksgiving! We are blessed with big families but that means we rarely get to enjoy family time with the three of us. I am looking forward to starting a Thanksgiving morning tradition- breakfast with a fire while watching the parade! We'll see if Charlotte allows for that to take place.

16 weeks & Life Lately

Ah my people! I love this little family of mine. We took Charlotte to the zoo last Monday and she had a BLAST!
 
 
How far along?: 16 weeks
Weight gained?: 6.5 pounds
Showing yet?: Yep! Popped earlier than the first time around, which is normal.
Clothes?: Maternity pants, mostly non-maternity tops
Cravings?: Not really!
Adversions?: Finally enjoying coffee again, so nothing at the moment!
Sleep?: Great!
Gender?: Almost 3 weeks away!
Movement?: Flutters, but nothing consistent.
Symptoms?: Back pain, light headedness, dizzy. Fun.
 
 
This weekend we had no plans, which was SO nice for a change. Saturday morning we went grocery shopping and then to the mall. Charlotte rode the escalator for the first time and hopped on like a boss! I was quite impressed with her bravery. 
 
 
Hubs had a birthday on Wednesday. Charlotte loves to give him eskimo kisses. She won't give them to me!  
 
 
And one from the park yesterday. Love her!
