Bump Update: 17 Weeks!

When I first found out I was pregnant I started taking weekly bump pictures, seeing really no difference in my stomach and also not much to even say besides what size it was. Now being in my second trimester only a couple weeks away from being HALF WAY done and seeing many other women do this, I decided why not start back. I have a growing baby that is deciding to show and lots to say! So here we go. 

Little inside on my first trimester; It went by pretty smooth till about week 8-11. Migraines and sickness was a daily routine, however sleep was decent then minus the bathroom breaks. Starting the second trimester from weeks 13-17 [now] have been rough. They say the second trimester is better but I plead the 5th on that so far. Back and lower abdominal pain have kicked in, headaches are back again and sleep is about a 3 on a scale to 10.  However I would not trade it for anything !!!

Our baby is also hitting 5.12 inches -6 inches this week
 and is weighing about 5-6.60 oz! 
About the size of a tangy pomegranate or a game console controller.


Total weight gain: 12 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Not much! I just really love wearing yoga pants right now though. So comfortable!
Stretch marks? Not yet and hopefully not at all.
Sleep: I have to wake up at 6am every morning monday - friday. And sleep during that time is very little. Constant bathroom trips and constantly tossing and turning. However I do try and take a nap everyday after work to ease my body and feel more refreshed. 
Workouts: Picking it back up. We go right now about 3-4 times a week. 15-30min cardio with light weight sessions by body groups.
Diet: Shesh.... Has not been the best. However today was the first day back on eating healthy. We went grocery shopping for my work food and I actually did not get any unhealthy foods!
Best moment this week:  Recreating my registry [I think I got it now.] Having Raul chase our baby around when finding her heartbeat [she likes to run from him and he sure likes to make her move!] 
Miss anything? Not at all.
Food cravings: Pizza.... [never ending craving....] also sour things. 
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nothing as in food. Just the occasional day sickness. 
Gender: GIRL! First girl on my families side in 17 years ! 
Labor signs: No!!!
Symptoms: Ligament pain in my lower belly and back and headaches !! 
Belly button in or out? In! But it is getting bigger and rising up.
Wedding rings on or off: On.
Happy or moody most of the time: Moody.... Just ask Raul. hahah. But seriously I am fairly calm and happy but can change in a split second...
Looking forward to: Seeing family Sunday so they can see how much she has grown in two weeks, Great food and working on a group 24 day challenge for the start of the new year!
