Hello! Welcome to the halfway mark (all 40 fingers and toes crossed) of triplets. Our birth plan is to get to 35 weeks. Let me just say, pregnancy flies by. I mean just yesterday we found out we were pregnant and now, in 17 weeks they will be here! And I know I have fallen behind and haven't posted the genders yet. I am still working on the post and I'm hoping to have it posted this week!! So here is how week 17 went :)
What’s going on with baby?
- Boo babies should be measuring 5 inches and weighing 5 oz. Even though at 16 weeks, all 3 babies were weighing in at 6 oz. So they are already bigger than they "should" be at 17 weeks. YAY for chubby babies!
- The babies are starting to suck and swallow this week.
My details:
Weight gained: Have no idea. Last weigh-in, I was up 13.2 lbs. I don't have a scale at home (on purpose) so they only weight checks I get are at the doctors' appointments. But my stomach def. stretches more and more every day!
Workouts: Sadly, none since about week 5. I haven't really had the desire to do anything other than yoga and I still haven't taken the initiative to do that. I feel like between work and everything I am doing at the house, working out is the last thing on my mind. Plus, with all of the pelvis pain I am having, I don't think any extra "hard" workouts would help. But that's not to say I don't miss it and don't look forward to the first run I will have after the babies are here and I'm all healed up!
Labor Symptoms: None and hopefully there are none any time soon!!!
Movement: These babies are movers, for sure!! I've been feeling them move since about week 15 but it gets stronger and stronger every week.
Food Aversions/Cravings: No real aversions still. Craving; muffins. I don't care what kind of muffin, I just want a muffin every day. Also, peanut butter and banana shakes!
Sleep: This week was actually ok sleep wise. A few nights I had to get up to use the bathroom but other than that sleep was ok. Even with my cold!!
Fun Things from the week: Going out this weekend and playing darts and watching the Superbowl!
Belly Button In or Out? ALMOST OUT!! If I take a deep breath, it comes out!
Wedding Rings on or off? On still but getting a little snug.
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy for the most part.
New Baby Items: The crib came in along with the mattress. Mesh bumpers for all 3 cribs. Lots of breast storage bottles. A few packs of pacifiers. 2 huge boxes of wipes and 4 packs of diapers. The baby shower is on Feb 16th so we will have a lot more then!!
I will be making another post tonight with belly pictures and some pictures from the 16 week US!
