At Week 17, Baby is the size of an onion! Not quite the most glamorous food choice, but we'll take it.
Quick Reflections from this week - as the UK game is on...and well, Mommy has priorities! :)
Movement: I felt her kick!! Monday, while at work - jamming away to Macie's favorite Katie Perry song ("Fireworks") - I felt three flicks in my stomach. They weren't hard - and I haven't felt them since - but I also haven't been as calm as I was on Monday. (By calm, I mean sitting down-ish.) I immediately sent Eric a text message, and his response back: "Are you sure it wasn't gas??"...Ladies - back up, he's charming AND taken.
Cravings/Aversions: Truly anything with fruit - really anything sweet and nothing salty. Something else I've found, not to be a craving, but more found to be rather tasty: MILK. For you this might not be such a "craving" - but for me, this is huge. I was never a milk-drinker pre-Baby. I enjoy it in the morning with my cereal, but now I can pour myself a glass (not too big) and enjoy a nice treat.
As for aversions - salt. Which, really isn't a bad thing - but I used to be a big pretzel/chip fan. Not so much anymore. As a weird aversion...I'm over wearing underwear at night! (What? Was that TMI?!) For some reason when I'm laying in bed I can not get comfortable for the life of me - so, off they go. (Please note, I do wear pants/shorts to bed over my bare bum.) I feel much better commando!
I am feeling: Still fantastic! :) I've been at such balance lately - feeling complete with what's happening to my body and our family. THAT has to be the most amazing part of this pregnancy - getting the opportunity to prepare for something so important. I'll take feeling like this over anything, any day!
What I miss most: Truly, it's still the Sierra Turkey sandwich. It's not that my mouth is watering for it - but I can't really say there's anything I "miss" more. I will enjoy the moment when I get to chomp down on that little slice of heaven towards the end of April.
Best moment of the past week: Date night with Eric! Because of Eric's work and school schedule, we haven't quite found a weekend where it's been just the two of us. Friday night we took a trip to Babies R Us, browsed around at items we like for our registry (you know me - I like to compare, research and make the ultimate decision!) then went for dinner...just the two of us. We have only a few more months of just "you and me" and we're taking full advantage!
What I'm looking forward to this week: Purchasing Baby's crib! :) We've made the final decision and can't wait to have it in our home, in her room. At that point, it will definitely feel real. :)
