How far along?: 17 weeks, 0 days
Total weight gain/loss: Zip, zilch, nada this week. Still +1 overall.
Maternity clothes?: thisclose to needing them full-time, I'm afraid.
Sleep: This subject makes me sad. Moving on...
Movement: I'm very hesitantly answering....maybe. I'm feeling what I think they describe as "flutters" (this of course coming a week after the doctor told me not to expect anything for a long time.) I feel it in the same spot consistently, very low in my abdomen (right where baby should be) and just barely on the right side. Feels like something is bumping into my stomach from the inside. The consistency is what's making me think this is truly Baby Reeder and not just hunger or gas pains. So, again....maybe. (!!!)
Food cravings: Brownies (which I took care of last night) and PB&J (which I had for breakfast.)
Gender: I realized recently that when I think of the baby, I think male. So, apparently, I'm thinking boy.
What I miss: Emotional stability.
What I am looking forward to: Next weekend's getaway with the husband (though not the 8-hr car ride.)
Best moment this week: I have 2 of them: #1 - my bathroom break with my niece (see below) and #2 - thinking I feel the little one moving (whether I really am or not, it's a fantastic feeling!)
Weekly Wisdom: None this week, sadly.
Milestones: Getting the nursery furniture set up!! Pictures to come soon :)
So during Friday night's softball game, I took my niece on a potty break (yes, for both of us, lol.) While we were in there, she randomly asks me "Is that Uncle Kenny's baby?" Great, my 3-year-old niece is questioning the paternity of my child. Oh, heavens. I explained to her that yes, he would be the daddy and I would be the mommy. Makes me wonder what kind of reputation I have going on the playground...
Of course, this is the same girl that moments later excitedly exclaimed "Aunt Sarah, you're wearing big girl panties!" when it was my turn to go. So I guess I shouldn't be too concerned, right?
