17 weeks

What's up with Baby this week?l

Baby is the size of a Turnip. 5oz and about 5in tall.

Their little limbs have nearly reached their proper proportions and will continue to grow evenly with the rest of the body from here on out.They're now becoming capable of hearing and reacting to sounds even though their ears are not yet structurally complete or fully functional.Mind boggling factoid of the week: if you're having going to have a little girl, her ovaries have already produced millions of primordial egg cells, which, within a few weeks, will develop into actual eggs! Phew… just wait till she's a teenager eh?

Symptoms? This week i have felt pretty good. Not cramping so that's a plus!

Gender? Handsome little Man!

Excited For? We go in for out 20 week ultrasound in two weeks, i also think i have finally figured out how i want little mans rooms. So i cant wait to start buying! :)

Maternity Clothes? More like yoga pants, i have two maternity pants but they are way bagging. So i think i will just stick with yoga pants for awhile now. 

Sleep? Its getting a little better. I have to take my sleeping pill each night, but once its in me i fall right to sleep. Then i wake up once or twice to go pee. Im not getting more tired during the day. So when i have no work i take a nap when Connor gets home from school.

Movement? Little tiny movements. Nothing to big just feel like popcorn popping. But i swear one night last week i thought Baby Garcia was doing flips in my belly. I cannot wait till he starts moving more! I love feeling him!

Belly Button Status? Still in

Missing Anything? Having energy, and not being able to cry on a dime. Im sure a boob

Milestones?
Hit the 17w mark

Cravings? Pretzel, not the chip pretzel but the warm kind with the cheese or pizza sauce.  YUM

Weight Gain? I haven't looked at my weight for a while now. But i know im eating a lot more. I always seem to be hungry. So im pretty sure ive gained a little. 

SO SO MUCH!

Each night i take Connor upstairs, read him a bed time story, tuck him into bed and give him a glass of water. I make sure to kiss Connor as much as i can before he tells me to stop it, and i also slowly close the door as a watch my little 5 year old watch his favorite movie.

Each night i feel like i must be doing something right, to be able to tuck my little man into bed, to be able to kiss him good night. Our favorite books to read at night are

I love you So.....

and I'll love you forever. 

Each book really give us a warm feeling inside. As I'm reading these books to him he is laying right next to me. Touching my face or playing with my hair. It just makes me feel like he is loving me just as much as I'm loving him!

"I love you."

 "How much?" 

"SO much." 

"How much is SO?"

 "Way, WAY more than you know."!!!

"I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be."

Each night as i turn off the TV in Connor's room ,i look to see my sleeping baby and cant help but feel so lucky. I kiss him good night, and take a fast picture cause one day i wont be able to get these little moments. One day my son will be tucking me into bed and kissing me good night! 

I love my little baby boy! 

Im A......
