Double Feature: Weeks 16 & 17

 Hey y'all! I dropped the ball on last week's little update but promised myself I would do this so I'm combining the two. I'm only 17 weeks TODAY so I won't have much for this week in general but I want to knock them out because we are neck deep in packing and have to be out of the house by THIS Sunday! Oh and its Thanksgiving week on top of that. Whew! Hope everyone has a safe, socially distanced (insert sad face) and yummy Thanksgiving!

Mama made an appearance for this week's photo!

How far along? 16 Weeks (merging with 17 too)

Size of Baby: Dill Pickle and a pomegranate! 4.6 inches and 4 oz/ 5in & 5oz

Total weight gain/loss: Still only up 1.5 pounds this week (can we pretend it'll stay that way?) I think 124 as of now

Symptoms: Pretty awesome so far! I've missed this!

Maternity clothes? Buying ALL the cute maternity clothes - living in the Old Navy leggings 

Stretch marks? No... got some new firming lotion to add to the mix

Sleep: For some reason this week has been awful BUT my back hurts due to packing boxes and being on the ground and no furniture...you name it

Best moment this week: Signing closing paperwork & my bestie Cici is in town to help! Oh and Thanksgiving food of course despite Covid ruining seeing family!

Miss Anything? WINE

Movement: Nothing prominent yet! When I lay down at night though there are some interesting things going on ever so lightly so I try to feel for them! Hoping to feel her soon since I'm a week away from when I first felt flutters with Andi!
