Week 17

Hi there! I hope everyone had a great week. This past week started out rough. Well the cold that Rory and I had been sharing since September (YES, since September) turned out to be a sinus infection for both of us. So after a weekend filled with congestion, coughing, and body aches (on top of throwing up and heartburn for me), we are both on our way to getting better. It's been really slow, but there has been some improvement.

This week also brought us to the end of the holidays here at the Harrington's. The Christmas decorations are all packed up and are ready to be put back in the front closet. I really hate to take down the garland and pine cones because it really makes the house look like winter. And I just love it! And taking it down means the inevitable is approaching.... summer in the desert. But it was a little bit easier this year because this summer is going to bring us a very special gift! And now that the holidays are over, the baby prep can begin!!! Yay! We have so much to do before June.

Sorry for the blurry photo.... Blame Randy!!! OK so last week's chalkboard flat out sucked! Regular chalk was not working. So I decided to try bistro chalkboard markers and guess what?!? They work great!!! I didn't know there were different types of chalkboards. It turns out that I have a bistro chalkboard.



How far along? 17 Weeks & 3 Days
Total weight gain/loss: 8 lbs 
Maternity clothes? a couple of pairs of maternity leggings and a few maternity tops. I still need to go shopping.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Never enough! Sleep has been difficult with a cough. As soon as I change positions I have a painful coughing attack. And I've had trouble breathing while I've been sick. There has been a few times I've woken up because I'm not getting enough air. That was scary! 
Best moment this week: Feeling the baby move the other night. It sort of felt like the baby was tickling me from the inside. It caused an instant giggle.
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? Nothing this week. My appetite is slowly coming back along with my sense of taste and smell. 
Movement: Yes! And I love it!!! 
Food cravings: Apples, homemade chili, vegetable soup, homemade salsa and strawberry-banana smoothies. Yum Yum!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Fast food sounds awful right now. 
Have you started to show yet: Yes, a small bump  
Gender prediction: Girl (Rory also thinks it's a girl)
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? On and a little loose. It's a good thing I have football player knuckles.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Probably somewhere in the middle. I'm not overly happy or moody. <------ Same
Looking forward to: I'm looking forward to getting my energy back. Everyday it's gets a little better, but I can't wait to be back to normal (insert I'm mot normal joke here). 

Bye for now. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
