Pregnancy Ticker

16 & 17 Weeks

Saturday, June 6, 2015 - Posted by Danielle at 6:12 PM
It's been a hard couple weeks.  I definitely feel like this pregnancy has been harder on me than with Adie.  The constant fatigue and nausea was one thing but everything with my neurological issues has been more of a struggle this past week or so again too.  On top of that, I feel like I've been a bit of a hormonal wreck.  I go from happy and doing well to exhausted and just want to sleep to sobbing and upset/depressed for absolutely no reason at all.  This has been hard for sure.

Mark, Adie and I went to Motherhood before leaving on vacation and got me some maternity clothes to start with since everything I had from Adie was fall/winter stuff.  I got some shorts, shirts and tank tops - a good start!  I feel like here at the end of 17 weeks I'm definitely needing the maternity stuff more and most of my pants won't button anymore.


Cravings - I don't remember what I put last, but so far this pregnancy, definitely fruit (especially pineapple) has been my biggest; I've been liking anything fruit-y though: smoothies, starburst, fruity mentos...

Only a little bit longer to wait to find out if Adie has sibling-intuition and is correct that it's going to be a sister :)  We find out at 19 weeks.  Between our schedule with graduation, vacation, Mark's new job and then our midwife's schedule, we ended up missing one appointment so rather than 4 weeks since our last appointment it's going to work out to about 7 I think when we go.  It will be nice to have another appointment just to hear everything is on track too!
