17 Weeks!

How Far Along: 17 weeks!

Size of baby:  Baby A is 7 ounces, Baby B is 6 ounces, and Baby C is 6 ounces. A is measuring at 17 weeks 6 days, B is measuring at 17 weeks 1 Day and C is measuring at 17 weeks exactly.  They are all about 5 inches and are growing perfectly!

Maternity Clothes: Is it a bad thing when you can’t wait to take off your maternity pants and put on sweat pants? I swear they’re not getting tighter….or are they?  LOL.

Sleep:  I still love sleep. I turn quite often, which used to be no big deal, but now I have to hold my belly when I turn because it’s too hard to do by myself!

Best Moment of the Week: Today was the best because we went to the doctor and heard all 3 heart beats.  The doctor confirmed 2 boys and a girl and said all were doing great!

Movement: I’m hoping next week I will have something to report here! Right now I can feel shifting, but not strong kicks. 

Symptoms: I have the same symptoms I’ve been having, but the back pain is getting worse. I have a feeling it’s going to continue to get worse the bigger I get so I better learn to deal with it. 

Food cravings: Still no cravings, but my appetite is definitely starting to increase!

What I Miss: A glass of wine would be really nice about now, but I’m willing to give it up for my babies.

What I'm Looking Forward To: Feeling the babies move and my next doctor appointment.  Next time we go, in 2 weeks, we’ll get the really long appointment where they do more extensive measurements and check everything more in depth. 

Milestones: Knowing I made it to 17 weeks is a milestone to me!

Emotions: Happy, excited, relieved, and optimistic. 
I took this one so you can see how big I'm getting in my regular clothes. I'm wearing maternity jeants but have on a normal shirt.

17 Week Bump Pic.  I feel like I have grown so much in the last 2 weeks!

Baby Boy A.  He sits very low and is the biggest of the bunch.


Baby Girl B.  She must have been having a bad hair day because she would not cooperate for the camera and this is the best we could do.

Baby Boy C with his hand up by his face. I don't know if I misunderstood the doctor this week, or last week, but now A and C are boys, and B is the girl. Last week A and B were boys and C was the girl. I don't know, it's hard to keep track of 3!
