Maddox {17 Weeks}

16 weeks

17 weeks

How far along? 17 weeks. I had to document the 16 week picture, but didn't do a weekly update since Nate & I were on a mommy-daddy getaway :)    Jacoby 16 weeks   Jacoby 17 weeks

Total weight gain: 5 lbs is my guess. Our scale at home is broken, but we have an appt on Friday with the Dr so I'll get an actual weight gain then!
Maternity clothes? Yes. I'm still fitting into 2 pairs of regular pants, but all of my shirts pretty much have to be maternity or else my belly hangs out of the bottom. I can't believe how popped out my belly is already : )
Stretch marks? Nada 
Sleep: Sleep has been pretty good. I am still managing somehow to sleep on my belly.  While we were on vacation, we got lots of good sleep! No worries about having to wake up when Jacoby did, just when we wanted to!
Best moment this week: Feeling Maddox move! See below :) 
Miss Anything? Not really. 
Movement: I felt Maddox move the first night on vacation.  We had both just laid down to fall asleep + he made a big squirm that was very obviously movement! It was really obvious and it was so wonderful! Easily the best part of being pregnant! Nate obviously hasn't felt him yet, but I've felt him here + there and look forward to his movements becoming stronger + more often!
Food cravings: Nothing in particular but a Wendy's Spicy Chicken still always sounds good, so does anything cheesy ;)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!
Gender: B O Y
Labor Signs: Thankfully no!
Symptoms: Headaches are daily, but my energy is on the upswing and I'm feeling great! 
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! Our vacation was such a fun, relaxing + refreshing time together.  I'll post about it later this week :)
Looking forward to: We have a doctors appointment on Friday to check in on our little peanut. We are praying that he is continuing to grow right on track and that fluid has continued to go down! I should mention that last appointment (2 weeks ago from this coming Friday), they did a lot of measurements on Maddox and he is growing RIGHT on track and the fluid was nearly gone! We are praying that we continue to see this, but also know that heart defects are a possibility even with the fluid level decreasing.  Please pray that he continues to develop + that on the echocardiogram around 21-22 weeks, we see no issues :) 

xox,
