| Charlotte was napping during in picture time this week. It was the perfect day for a nap...rainy, daylight savings day....it was all I COULD DO to get up and take this photo...but I did it for you, Baby2! |

17 Weeks
We are nearing the halfway point, little one! And the point at which I can finally give you
a name and call you by that name and not he/she or Baby2 or little one. I so cannot wait. I think I say that every time…how eager I am
to name you!! I have chosen your name if
you are a girl. Daddy still will not
commit but since he won’t throw out any other options, I am going to stick with
this particular girl name. So I
currently refer to you as either
BLANK/BLANK (fill in the blanks with girl name and boy name we have selected). That helps me quite a bit!
So anyway…how has this week been? Pretty good.
Nothing too eventful. Though I
did realize I will not be able to cliff jump into the ocean when we are in
Hawaii next month. Such a bummer. I tried thinking up some way to protect my
baby bump so I could do it, but I think the reality is….it’s simply out of the
question. Maybe some other Hawaii
vacation….when I am not pregnant. (haha,
some other Hawaii vacation….)
I don’t know if I mentioned it yet, but I have been doing my
pregnancy work out videos again. Love
those videos. I start my day with
them. Charlotte usually works along with
me, adding an extra challenge to the weight lifting and squatting I do. So much fun!
(Really, it is, I am not being sarcastic!) I notice a huge difference at the end of the
day if I do not work out- in that I feel not as relaxed. That said, I do my best to get it in each day
in order to feel stretched and relaxed throughout the day. Totally worth it. One thing I have noticed in doing my work-outs;
however, is that I am starting to get a little off balanced. And/or light-headed. I believe it’s pretty typical with this stage
in pregnancy.
I read that Baby2 is now about 5 inches long from head to
toe- isn’t that so big?? And he/she
weighs around 5 ounces. That is exciting
to me! Also- Baby2’s skull is becoming
bone and not just cartilage. More
exciting! I do feel Baby2 move every
once in awhile, but I am getting anxious to feel the major movements. The private dance party in my tummy. I loved those moments with Charlotte. And I cannot wait to share them with
Baby2.
I really don’t have much else to add from this week…is that
lame? Maybe….I suppose I could throw in
something about food. Sweets are not my
friend- especially chocolate. Neither is
barbeque (bleck!!!) and/or anything super spicy. I do enjoy Italian subs….and coffee cake…and
I am sure some other things…but those two are my favorites right now. Oh and my appetite is still quite ravenous!
