17 Weeks

I have been really bad about updating lately, but the last thing I want to do on my days off is stare at a computer screen (being that I stare at a computer all day at work). 

I am still trying to figure out this whole style thing when it comes to being pregnant, so I haven't taken many pictures these past few weeks.  Last week my bump finally popped out.  I had been having weird pains for a few days then I woke up one morning and there it was....well, here it is.





BAM!  There it is.  I am wearing official maternity  jeans and a shirt in this picture.  Both from a Pea in the Pod.  As far as tops go, this was the only time I've warn an actual maternity top so far and I don't think I will wear another one for awhile.  I'm just not big enough yet.  Pants are a different story though.  I have still been wearing normal work pants and jeans with a small hair tie around the button and through the loop to extend them, but that has been getting uncomfortable.  I think it's time to start wearing maternity pants on a regular basis.  I'm going to keep experimenting with my wardrobe so I can wear my regular clothes as long as possible and I promise to share my gems when I find them.

The 2 most common questions I've been getting are how are you feeling and what are you craving.  I feel pretty normal other than having a bump.  I seem to have gotten some of my energy back since the first trimester and I don't have any nausea anymore.

I haven't had many cravings either.  Last week the only thing I wanted that was out of the ordinary was a milkshake.  Soup has sounded really good lately too, but that could also be due to the cold weather.

That's all I have for my 17 week update, have a fabulous week!
