WEEK 17: 27 Feb-6 March 2019
Hi everyone! I hope your week was fantastic. I enjoyed celebrating Honeybee’s birthday and am looking forward to anatomy scans soon. It’s time to give our weekly bump update. Hope you enjoy it.
How far along: 17 weeks

Gender: Unknown (Team Green)
Events of this week: Honeybee’s Sleepover
Symptoms: Hungry. My appetite is starting to improve. New symptom is waking in the night with the room spinning and feeling as if I will pass out. In the morning, my hands are swollen. By the time I get to work though…all is well.
Exercise/Activity: Nope.
Sleep: Bathroom visits are still a thing. See symptoms above.
Maternity clothes: Yes. I’m wearing them quite regularly with pre-pregnancy pieces interspersed. But I’m definitely about to be all in maternity soon.
Stretch marks: Yep.
Belly Button: In.
Food cravings: No
Food aversions: The smell of coffee still bothers me.

Best Moment of the Week: The look on Honeybee’s face during her birthday weekend.
Worst Moment of the Week: Finding out about the back to back passings within our church family.
What I’m looking forward to: My anatomy skin next week.
What I’m nervous about/praying for: Praying for a healthy baby, for those who are suffering and in want, for our nation
What I miss: I actually thought it would be nice to be able to have a glass of wine last week. It was a fleeting thought, but there still.
