17 weeks - GENDER REVEALED!

How many weeks: 17
How big is baby: 5 inches
Weight gain: 10 pounds
Sleep: Crazy, vivid dreams! I had one dream that we lived in the ocean and built this inlet that allowed us to get up on the side of the ocean like it was a swimming pool. I lived with my siblings, but only Melissa and Sam were there. Oh and Sam was about 14 years old. A whale managed to get into our inlet and ate Melissa. It was weird!
Best moment this week: Finding out the gender! (see photos below)
Food: Food is yummy. Same cravings, no aversions.
What I'm looking forward to: Nathan feeling the baby move.
The Ugly: Still backed up and oh boy those stretch marks have appeared and are everywhere! Nathan told me that my back looks like a topographical map!


The gender of baby has been revealed and it's a BOY!!

16 Weeks!

How many weeks: 16
How big is baby: 4.5 inches
Weight gain: 9 pounds
Sleep: The constant need to pee has stopped during the night, but sleeping on my side is hard! My hands end up going all numb because of how I'm sleeping and I wake up several times to un-numb them.
Best moment this week: I felt baby kick and move! It was the coolest feeling ever! I tried to explain it to Nathan and he just said, "That is why men don't have babies. I'd get freaked out by that."
Food: Still craving pickles!! Salad has been extra yummy too!
What I'm looking forward to: Finding out the gender (next week) and Nathan feeling the baby move.
The Ugly: Backed up! Yep, I know this is a "crappy" subject but holy moly!!
