How far along? 17 weeks 3 days
Maternity clothes? Still a mixture but some of my favorite summer skirts are tight. :(
Stretch marks? One side is darker than the other.
Sleep: Crazy dreams like always. But I have been getting up a little less to pee.
Best moment this week: Telling Sophia she is going to be big sister.
Movement: Off and on. Just rumbles sometimes.
Food cravings: No cravings this week.
Labor Signs: Lets hope not!
What I miss: Coffee!! I miss the morning ritual. I miss the 3 cups I had daily. I miss the spunk I felt. I drag now for like 2 hours before I can even function.
What I am looking forward to: Preparing for our top secret road trip next week. Sophia has no idea. We are planning to leave right after work on Thursday.
Weekly Wisdom: Maybe have a game plan on how to explain to a 4 year old how a baby got in Mama's belly.
Milestones: Nothing this week.
Mothers day weekend was super nice. My bro and mom came down from Austin to visit. I was a tad emotional on Saturday. I learned valuable lesson that I have anxiety when things don't go exactly as planned. Anxiety leaves me grumpy and just a negative Nancy in general. This is not a productive way to be and at least I recognize I have a issue. So once I was able to get past that I was able to relax and enjoy the weekend.
We had brunch at our house on Sunday. It turned out nicely. DH made my two favorite seafood dishes. Scallops with pasta and then his special caramelized shrimps. I can't believe how little of leftovers we had. It had been several years since we hosted something for the family and it was nice to show off the new office. Sophia was in full cuteness mode and did a special Elsa Dance for everyone. Loved it.
My MIL talked me into telling Sophia. Really I was ready but I was avoiding it because Sophia can and will ask a billion questions. Sophia is excited and she is insisting that it's a brother. She just tells everyone mama is carrying a baby boy in her belly. I have told her a few times that we don't know what it is yet. We have about 23 more weeks of waiting.
Some other highlights/funnies from Sophia:
She is said she is scared mama is going to explode..she ran from my belly a few times
She wants to kiss my belly over and over..she is currently obsessed with my belly.
She asked what will happen to mama when she goes to the hospital. Who will take care of her?
She called the baby a monster a few times. She like.... "I knew it was a monster..just knew it!" - Sandro laughed nonstop for a few minutes when she said it like that.
I did get her a book about being a big sister. She has requested it every night since. It's a cute book and the little girl is just like Sophia with her sassy attitude.
