17 weeks

HOW FAR ALONG: 17 WEEKS

WEIGHT GAIN: Still trying to gain back the weight, but I’m almost there. Only 6 lbs to go!!!

SLEEP: Not at all and I don’t know why. I’m not in pain, I’m not throwing up or sick to the stomach. I just lay in bed staring at the ceiling. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. It’s driving me crazy!

MOVEMENT: I feel bubbles and sometimes little butterflies. I hear that’s the baby. But I really can’t tell. It could just be gas bubbles and I think a fart is baby Mann. So I’m going to go with no for now…

FOOD CRAVINGS: Bagels, bagels and more bagels. I want to eat 10 a day. I don’t, but I even dream about them. Any bagel will do, but my favorite is an everything bagel with onion and chive cream cheese. Surprisingly Eddy still wants to kiss me afterwards…that’s true love.

STILL SICK: Yes, but it’s only about once a week. I’m trying to slowly get off Phenergan. I made the mistake of googling it and wasn’t happy with the results. The doctor never mentioned any of it and prescribed me 200 pills like they were candy. I’m on day 2 of not taking any. Wish me luck!!!

SYMPTOMS: Dizzy spells, headache, and acid reflux.Any suggestions on how to help the acid reflux?!?

GENDER: Find out on Oct 10^th!!!!! I had a dream the other night that someone was yelling from across a field that I was having a baby boy. I was so excited when I woke up the next morning and told Eddy. But the very next night I dreamt we were having a zombie baby. I’m pretty sure that washes away any credence to the first dream.

MOOD: Happy! It’s nice to have a life again away from the toilet

LOOKING FORWARD TO: Finding out the sex, feeling movement, and we bought a crib and armoire for the nursery. They both need work so I’m excited to get started. Pics to follow soon.
