Baby #2 - Week 17

I feel like we're back to going slowly again, but hopefully it keeps on keeping on. :)

How far along: 17 weeks + 3 days along.

How big is baby? These fruit comparisons always did get weird - isn't last week's avocado bigger than this week's onion?

Sleep: The dreaded cold lurgy has come back, and so none of us have been getting much sleep around here.

Symptoms: Mostly cramping. Makes me a bit anxious, but I'm hoping that means things are growing.

Best moment of this week: Seeing the baby again last week, and getting that cute little 3D glimpse of her.

Miss anything: I had a platter full of deli meats and soft cheese in front of me at a party on the weekend and I wanted to dive in headfirst and eat all of the things... but of course, I restrained!

Movement: On Mother's Day, I thought I felt something. Then on Tuesday morning, I had Georgia sitting on my lap and I swear I felt a nudge. Nothing since though, and nothing constant.

Food cravings: I feel like hot chips and gravy.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Cooking meat. Barf.

Gender: Girl!!

How's your mood? I'm nervous this week, for some reason. Nervous that things have gone so smoothly these past few weeks, nervous that there might be something scary happening I don't know about, nervous that the morphology scan will show something scary. But also hopeful... hopeful we might just get there in the end this time.

Looking forward to: The weeks continuing to disappear, and the morphology scan in a fortnight's time.

The Bump: Still more belly than bump, bring on the growing, growing, growing!
