Pregnancy Journal Update: 17 Weeks

*2nd trimester*
17 weeks

Weight: 120 lbs.

I definitely felt baby movement this week! Last Tuesday (16 weeks 6 days) I thought I felt movement but wasn’t sure… I’m now feeling light movement every day. It’s not strong enough for anyone to feel from the outside yet, but it is a neat sensation! Uncle Colton, Yaya and I got the crib put together this weekend! Even though it won’t be needed for months still, it is fun and exciting to get things ready. My energy level has been close to pre-pregnancy the last few weeks, which is a HUGE blessing!  I can’t believe I’m almost to the halfway point!  This pregnancy is truly flying by… I’m trying to savor the time I have one-on-one protecting this baby.  We got to share the gender reveal with our families this week.  We are beyond blessed to have such supportive, loving families to help be our “village” around baby!

SYMPTOMS: Fatigue, burping
MILESTONES: I busted my first zipper this week from my belly getting bigger {on a fleece zip up jacket}.
BABY IS THE SIZE OF A grenade!

{FOR MOMMY} I am….
LOVING the sensation of baby movement!
EATING lots of carbs still, not a lot of meat {although I am eating some meat now}.
DREAMING all the dang time.
SAVORING being pregnant!
PREPARING the nursery!
