Weekly re-cap of pregnancy #2: Week 17

Week 17 
(Nov. 19 to Nov. 25) 

Symptoms: Headaches! Ow! Hate!

Body changes: Probably frown lines as a result of the HEADACHES.

Baby movement: Still feeling movements, but they just aren’t as forceful as I remember from last time, so they seem … puny.

Cravings: Nah.

Aversions: No, but the compost-y bin we started using is really grossing me out. It kind of makes me want to never compost again. Like before. But I want to impress my new neighbhours, you see. And it is apparently like the law here.

High point: A crafting date with three great friends, where I successfully completed TWO shadowboxes in less than two hours. I forgot how nice it was to craft!

Low point: Having to cancel the toddler’s doctor’s appointment because of a huge-ass snowstorm. I am tired of his blocked tear duct that our doctor kept telling us to ignore. Having to miss the appointment just made me even MORE determined to NOT IGNORE, roarrrr.

How does this week compare to Week 17 during pregnancy #1? I definitely seemed to feel the baby move more last time. I must make a point to drink OJ and lie on my side every once in a while.
