Halloween & 17 weeks!

Life in General

Started off last week with a Dr appt! Baby's heart rate was in the 160's and turns out I'm measuring a week ahead. My Dr was wondering if we'd had an ultrasound yet, and he looked at those measurements and baby was right on time, so he is chalking it up to my short torso for now :)

Then came Halloween! After many costume debates, Mickey Mouse was the winner. Corbin was a little unhappy about the thought of putting his "jammies" on in the middle of the afternoon. We went trick or treating a few places, and he finally got the hang of getting candy/treats in his pumpkin! Axel was The Grinch, and the boys are just as cute as can be together! Everyone enjoyed Dad's "haunted yard" and he's already planning for next year!

Pregnancy Symptoms

For the most part I have been feeling great this week. I have had a few days/times where I've really felt yucky. I also had a day where I couldn't eat ENOUGH and felt like I was starving all day. Still having issues with my hips, mostly just at night. Heartburn also started this week! Don't go too far without the Tums!

Baby Updates

Baby C is now about the size of an onion (5")! Baby is starting to put on some fat, and bones are started to harden.
