17 Weeks and a new sponsor

I wasn't able to get my 16 week post up in time. Mainly because I couldn't get a good picture. Yah, I know lame excuse, but it's true. I really have been working on finding a perfect spot to take these weekly pictures, but nothing has been great yet, and I am still no pro at self portraits. I am hoping to learn a few things from an upcoming DSLR class I will taking at the end of the week. I am so very excited about this class. I hope to use a few things I learn in the class to get some lovely pictures of the wedding Andrew, Damien, and Amar'e are in this Saturday.



How far along? 17 Weeks

Total weight gain: 3lbs (no weight gain in the last month)

Maternity clothes? Nope 

Stretch marks? No new ones!

Sleep: I've been sleeping very well lately. My shoulder had been keeping me up at night, but a cortisone shot took care of that problem.

Best moment this week: Getting kicked from the inside. Yes, we are gettting little kicks! Lots of them.

Miss anything? Being able to sit, stand, bend over normally. Sciatica is horrible!

Movement:Yes, yes, yes. Lots of movement.

Food cravings: Fruits and vegetables,lemons,tomatoes,nachos, chocolate chip cookies, salt, this chickpea concoction that Andrew whipped up one day for lunch....Im hooked. I will be doing up a food post about it.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Pretty much over this part of the journey.I hope.

Gender: We will not be finding out the gender until the day the baby arrives.

Labor signs: No way.

Symptoms: My exhaustion has disappeared! Bye-bye unproductive Desiree. Hello, superwomen! :)

Belly button in or out? In.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Getting some mood swings on and off but in a much better mood lately.

Looking forward to: Our upcoming ultrasound on 6/5! At the last appointment I mentioned to the doctor the movement I had been feeling was a bit different than with my previous babies, and I made a little joke about maybe there is two in there. Well, we were able to get a heartbeat on both sides of my abdomen (but this could be the placenta giving off the other pulse we picked up), and I am measuring a couple weeks ahead ( I am only 5'1" and very petite, not a lot of room to be growing another human with). She asked me if I was sure about the dates, and I told her 100%. She went ahead and scheduled me for an ultrasound for sooner rather then later (before our Florida trip).  Yikes...
