Baby Bump Diaries: Weeks 16-17

How far along?:  17.3 weeks

Total weight gain/loss:  Down six still

Showing yet?: Well, it took just over 17 weeks but I think so. It’s noticeable to me and Nick but probably not to anyone else. I still fit into my pre-pregnancy pants but this might be the start of the end of that.

Gender Prediction: Girl – we find out soon!!!

Movement: I think I am feeling the baby move in general but yesterday I defiantly got kicked when I had my hand there. It was amazing; it felt so much stronger and like an actual body part coming out (I guess it could have been a hand right?)


Morning Sickness?: Nope

Food cravings: Cheese and fruit smoothies with yogurt. According to my phone app, this week the baby’s bones are calcifying more so I was asking Nick if it was me doing it subconsciously or my body asking for more calcium because it knows it needs it this week.

Food aversions: I’m pretty sure chicken is back to normal, other than that I can’t think of anything.


Moods: Pretty good. A few times where I want to randomly cry at something on TV but then I start laughing at myself for it so I never actually cry.

Best moment this week: Hearing the heartbeat again, getting kick, and finally solving a back issue I was having.

Miss anything: Cookie dough

Labor Signs: Nope

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Looking forward to this week: Conference
