17 Week Bumpdate

17.5 weeks


In general I feel a lot better now.

My food aversions are gone, I can drink pop now and chicken doesn't gross me out anymore.

My (slight) nausea has subsided.

However, this lower back pain is not fun. It's been going on for about a month now. Definitely not getting better.  My midwife is referring me to a chiropractor. We'll see how that goes, still waiting on approval from Tricare.

I have a bump now. I've even had strangers at work recognize that I'm pregnant. Much better that just feeling like I look like I ate too much! Also, I'd just like to say that the third one really likes to make themselves known Haha I feel huge already.

Baby is most definitely a boy! We had a blood test and have seen the parts Haha. So exciting! Totally thought we'd be an all girl family.

That being said, it's been really hard to not buy every cute baby boy outfit I've come across. 😅

Elsie is excited and talks to the baby in my belly several times a week. She is way more aware of what's going on than Gemma is. The only thing Elsie doesn't quite get is "when is that baby coming out?" She thinks I can just go to the doctor and pick him up or something. She's also asked a few times where he will be sleeping.  She's so funny.

Next week we have our anatomy scan already! Can't wait to see our sweet boy!
