Weight Gain: About 8 pounds. It seems to keep changing every time I weight myself lol. Stretch Marks? No!
Maternity Clothes:Yes, they are the comfiest.
Sleep: Considering the fact that I’ve been sick.. Not so good. Very stuffy nose, waking me up at night, so uncomfortable.
Best Moment This Week: Getting things for baby girl. She has swaddles, clothes, sunglasses, shoes, bows, and even a dresser for her room! I would have been happy with a little guy, but girls are so much fun to shop for! My credit card bill though……. And I registered for the baby shower, yay!
Worst Moment This Week: Being super sick. Throat is killing me, coughing all day, coughing making me lightheaded and making me want to throw up. Stuffy nose.. AND! I cut my finger so badly with a X-Acto knife! Like BAD, to the point where it flaps over!! Hurt so badly. I currently have it wrapped with 3 band-aids, hopefully the flaps stuck back together cause if not it looks like I’ll be going to Urgent Care or something to see if they can glue them together. Not fun!
Miss Anything: Not being sick……..
Movement: I can’t explain it. What I have noticed though is that baby girl either loves or hates the shower lol! I can feel her move a lot in there. I can’t feel movement from the outside though!
Cravings: I pretty much just want sweets all the time.
Queasy or Sick: Besides being sick, no. Have You Started To Show Yet: Yup! Even with looser clothes, there’s a bump that does not hide.
Gender Prediction: It’s a girl!
Labor Signs: Nope. Belly Button In or Out? In. But it looks like it wants to pop out, ewww!
Wedding Rings On or Off? On.
Happy or Moody Most of the Time: Considering the fact that I’ve been sick, I’ve just been feeling moody and tired and I just want to take days off and sleep all day.
Looking Forward To: Seeing Baby Girl next week at our 20 week check-up!
Here are some pictures from this week.
The last one (after the soup) is gross so beware!
My bump looks bigger from the right because Baby Girl is ALWAYS on my right side.
Even though it looks like it’s the left, but it’s a mirror pic! Haha.
This is how I spent my Sunday.
This picture truly does it no justice. I got myself good!
I cut from the tip top, all the way down below my nail bed on the side.
How Far Along: 17 Weeks Gender: Boy Weight Gain: Maybe like 4 pounds? I’m not sure, it’s always up and down and different. Maternity Clothes: Yes!

So baby’s first trip was to New York City! And boy it was COLD! I was so worried about the plane ride since I have been getting so sick by just sitting in the passanger’s seat of the car, I took my nausea pills, got those sickness bands and some saltine crackers. Two flights later…
One of the things I’ve been experiencing this pregnancy is being very uncomfortable, especially when it’s time for bed. It’s like I can’t find a good position, and Baby Girl has been pinching this one nerve on the very top of my belly on the right side since I was about 18 weeks pregnant, and…
My cutie! You are getting sillier by the day! When you smile, one of you eyes squint more than the other. You’ve been pulling Mommy’s hair already and you have such a good grip, OUCH! You gave Mommy such a hard time one weekend, you didn’t want to breastfeed, you only wanted a bottle. Mommy…

August is Breastfeeding Awareness Month so I wanted to talk about some benefits of breastfeeding for both baby and mom, why I’m choosing to breastfeed my baby, and also share some awesome Breastfeeding Accessories. I’ve talked to many mothers and every single one that I’ve talked to either says that breastfeeding was one of…
This look is very similar to one of the looks I did for my maternity shoot with Emma, you can find that here. Of course with the exception of the different colored tutus, I wore the same top to recreate that look, but celebrating our Baby BOY on the way this time! I love that…
So last weekly update I wrote about how Emma’s pediatrician wanted me to supplement breastfeeding with either my milk (pumped in a bottle) or formula. I talked about how Emma threw up after I tried to feed her more after she was already full from breastfeeding so I gave up! I did not supplement. Instead…
I want to say that this is probably my favorite maternity look, even though my belly looks smaller than it was haha! I got my dress for super cheap on amazon, it’s this one here in navy, size small. Emma’s dress was a gift from my grandma from Brazil. I hope you love these pictures…

So yesterday was my birthday! Ah! I’m 27. What the heck? How did I get so old? I know people who are older than me are probably like shut up, you’re young, but I’m sure you felt the same way when you were my age!!! Plus, am I the only one that still feels like…
