New this week: Holy tummy! From week 16 to week 17, my stomach rounded out and grew a whole inch (yes, I'm measuring my waist circumference)! Sitting/laying certain ways has become uncomfortable but I'm really happy about that because I can finally feel the baby growing.
How I'm feeling: Great. I have a lot more energy during the days and am so happy to actually feel like doing things again around the house again. They say that the second trimester is the best, and I definitely understand why!
Food: Peanut butter has been a pretty consistent craving for me throughout this whole pregnancy but I REALLY love it when it's mixed with banana! Now that the weather has been nicer, I'm back to my one-a-day peanut butter/banana smoothies. They are so good with almond milk and a few ice cubes.
Clothing situation: Work clothes are starting to become a problem. I really need to invest in work maternity clothes but I'm still trying to drag out my work dresses before making the plunge. I have about 5 that I rotate through so as long as I don't see the same people twice a week, I'm still good.
Movement: I felt the baby move on Sunday!! I woke up to a fluttering around 8am and tried to feel it again, but it had stopped. The feeling was like butterfly kisses but I'm sure it was the baby. So cool!
What I miss: White wine. Mmmmmm.
Most looking forward to: We have an appointment this Friday and I cannot wait to hear the baby's heartbeat again. I'm seriously counting down the days this week!
