So Baby #2 is due May 7th! We are excited and scared at the same time. We are one kid closer to becoming outnumbered. I had all intentions to blog sooner, but life with a 20 month old moves pretty fast. These days my down time is spent napping. So here's to trying to keep up with a weekly updated blog!
How far along: 17 weeks and 1 day
Maternity clothes: Yes, but still able to mix in "regular" clothes. I have been able to get into my regular pants up until now. I am using the band to wear pants that can't, AHEM, button. Thankfully leggings and boots are in.
Stretch marks: Nope thankfully.
Sleep: I fall asleep while watching TV every night, wake up to take my contacts out, and then try to go back to sleep. I'm having trouble getting comfortable at night. I have found that sleeping on my left side with a body pillow is the best position. I drink a ton of water during the day and begin limiting water after dinner, so the nightly bathroom trips aren't so frequent. I just wish I could sleep in! C wakes up around 5:45-6 everyday so those late night naps are helpful.
Best moment last week: Knowing that I am on Thanksgiving break for a couple days. Looking forward to time with family and friends. My parents are coming in Friday so that will be lots of fun.
Movement: I have felt a flutter or two. Jeremy even felt one the other night.
Food cravings: Smart Puffs Cheese Puffs(baked and no artificial anything) OMG so good! C loves them too so J has to buy us each our own bag. I haven't been hungry for dinner so around 10:30 every night I get hungry for Special K Red Berry cereal. Weird craving: cherry cough drops. I don't have a cold and don't have any need for them so I am refraining.
Gender: Don't know yet, though I have my suspicions. Will find out next week
Labor signs: Zilch, thank goodness.
Belly button - in or out? Out almost immediately. Bleh.
What I miss: A big cup of Starbucks Peppermint Mocha. I'm really working to limit caffeine. I also miss wine and sushi. My guilty pleasures.

What I am looking forward to: Finding out what we are having and watching C meet his new sibling.
Milestones: Getting past the worst of my nausea and starting to feel a bit more energy.
