As the title may imply, we are now 17 weeks pregnant, and... I have gained 7 pounds. I guess that is ok since it is right on track with what is considered healthy. We will see if that is still the case after eating four Krispy Kreme doughnuts today... a big thanks to my boss for that. He meant well and didn't know that I lack any and all self control when it comes to food.
This week we got to visit the doctor and are pleased to announce that our Baby O is growing and has a nice strong heartbeat. The Doctor says everything is going well and now we are just awaiting the next visit where we will finally find out if we are going to get a sweet baby girl or a bouncing baby boy. The countdown is on to September 28th and the big reveal. Saying that I am excited about this would be an understatement!
This week was exciting for Kevin and I. He finally got to visit the new Yankee stadium and visit with friends and family. I was able to travel to Chicago and attend the wedding of one of my friends from college. I have never seen a Hindu wedding ceremony so this was an interesting experience for me. From the arrival of the groom by helicopter to the amazing traditional dance performed by Jen and her bridesmaids, this day was exciting and beautiful. It was so good to visit with friends I have not seen much of since college and to celebrate the happy couple.
Sisters...Sorority Sisters
Beautiful bride!
Other than my friends deciding that our Baby O should be named Honey Ool Ool Child after the charming TLC character Honey Boo Boo Child, the weekend was a great success and now we are getting ready to celebrate the next bride in my life, Morgan. Eureka Springs Bachelorette is only a couple weeks away and Momma and Baby are going to PARTY! Ok, that or be the voice of reason among my intoxicated friends... it could go either way.
Onto the questions!
Are you feeling sick?: Still feeling great.
Are you sleeping?: A little better this week. Not sure if it is because I am so tired or if it will stick, but I will take it.
What was the best moment this week?: It was fun to visit with some of my closest friends this weekend. I have not gotten to see them since I got pregnant, and it is always fun to show off the belly.
Do you miss anything?: Booze. Being at a reception with an open bar and not being able to drink just seems wasteful.
Any cravings yet?: I could drink my weight in pumpkin spice lattes... decaf of course.
Do you want to know if Baby O is a boy or a girl?: Only 24 days until we finally find out.
Any other symptoms?: All is well at casa de Ool.
Mood lately?: Good. We finally got some new team members at work so now that my workload is a little more balanced the stress level is down and I just want to coast through the Holidays.
What are you looking forward to?: Finding out if Baby O will be wearing pink or blue. I may not sleep until 9/28.
Baby Bump?: Getting bigger. I told a friend at work today that I don't have to put disclaimers on my blog posts anymore because the bump is big enough to see without standing around in my sports bra. HA!
Need any maternity clothes?: Rocking the Belly Belt in some pants and just focusing on shirts of the stretchy variety.
Hope everyone enjoys their short work week!
