Week 17

Symptoms? Pimples have calmed down a little bit but are still there. Occasional backache. Slightly increased appetite.

Weight? 133.6 lb -> 134.4 lb (on target). My weight went back and forth between 133 and 132 quite a bit during the first half of this week but by the end of it I gained the 0.8 lb I’m supposed to so I’m relieved 🙂

Change in dietary habits? Slightly increased appetite.

Exercises? The usual – teaching Pole Beginner 1 and Flexyvixens/Legs Wide Open (stretching classes) twice a week. I’m definitely running out of breath faster.

Sleep? Same as last week (waking up once or twice a night to pee, otherwise sleeping through the night). Had one of two crazy dreams, see my previous post!

Baby movements? Still can’t feel them yet.

Belly?
At week 17 Emilia is as big as a pomegranate / turnip!

Anything else special happened this week?
We went ice-fishing for the first time! It was fun but we didn’t catch anything as we were there a little too late plus the weather was probably too warm. This week we also signed ourselves up for pre-natal classes and pampered ourselves with a nice mani-pedi.
