17 weeks!


How Far Along: 17weeks

Size of Babies: Onion

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +7?? I haven't weighed myself lately so I'm not sure.

Genders: Will find out in 1 week!!

Movement: I thought I may have felt something once, but I'm really not sure that it was a baby. I hope I will feel more soon!

Sleep: Sleeping okay. I get up a few times each night to use the restroom and sometimes it takes me a while to fall back asleep. I just bought one of these and I'm hoping it will help a little.

Maternity Clothes: Yes! I've come to the conclusion that I will not be one of those women who can get away with wearing regular clothes, and that's fine by me.

Symptoms: The nausea/vomiting is still here. I've had some back pain and just this week started feeling a weird tingling/numb feeling right at my bra line. I have no idea what that's about. 

Aversions: I haven't really wanted a lot of sweets so far.

Cravings: Tomatoes, Jersey*Mike's turkey sub, pickled okra

What I miss: Not a thing. I've waited too long for this and I'm grateful for everything I'm experiencing.

Best Moment this week: My mom and dad were over so I pulled out the doppler and they both got to hear the babies heartbeats. That never gets old! And, when I went shopping yesterday I got to park here for the first time. Yippee!!!


What I'm looking forward to: Our 18 week ultrasound and working on plans for our gender reveal party!

  5. Cute bump!! I got a snoogle with my first pregnancy and LOVED it! I pulled it out again for my second one too. I still love that thing so much, but my hubby hates it! He says it takes up too much room :)

  6. I am so so so excited for you two!!! Praise the Lord!!! You look beautiful. I can't wait to hear what those babies are!

    Our son was born in March, and I had the weird numb/tingling thing for about 20 weeks...it's one of the babies pushing on your nerves! Unless he/she moves, you'll probably feel it until they are out. It goes away IMMEDIATELY after birth!! HAHA! You'll get used to it! :)

    So happy for you!!!

  9. The weird feeling at your bra line probably means someone is on a nerve. It happened to me with James, but not with Will. It was SO ITCHY. I'm so excited for you, Faith! I can't wait to hear what you're having!

  12. COngratulations!!! I am so thrilled for your news! I have been following you for almost 3 years while we have dealt with infertility as well. Your faith in the Lord encouraged me greatly and helped me. The Lord is so good and has his perfect timing...I really believe this, although at times it did get really "lonely."
    I will continue following you as we found out a few months back that we are expecting our first miracle! We are due in early January. :)
    God is good...all the time!
