The week started off pretty normal - nothing to write home about. I had no doctor's appointments last week, nothing too crazy with the baby. I did, however, end my Wednesday with a trip to the urgent care. Or at least attempted a trip to urgent care - who knew they all closed at 6? It seems like the point of an urgent care is to be open when doctors offices aren't! Bailey and I ate supper on Wednesday night, and as I was cleaning, I managed to drop a steak knife on my foot. It didn't hurt at all, but I looked down and was literally standing in a small pool of blood, and watching blood squirt out of my foot at a rapid pace. I'm just glad it happened at 16 weeks and not 3 weeks earlier...3 weeks earlier and I would have gotten sick all over the floor too! Bailey and I are both freaking out - he's normally pretty calm in situations like this, so I'm fairly certain my panic caused his! Long story short, we got the bleeding to stop and decided urgent care would be best..it looked like it need a stitch or 2. Couldn't find an open urgent care, just ended up coming home, propping it up, and icing the foot. Moral of this story? 1. hold knives securely at all times. 2. come up with a better emergency plan before gBaby gets here. :)
This weekend, gBaby attended his/her first wedding! Good news - we only had to stop 3 times down there for a potty break, and NONE on our way back to Macon. I hope bailey was just as impressed with me as I was :) It was a beautiful weekend, and a gorgeous, fun wedding. The bride and groom are in St. John this week, and I'm
We spent Father's Day in Dublin with my mama's side of the family. I loved getting to celebrate my awesome dad, along with the other dads in our family. It was even more exciting to think that this time next year, we'll be able to celebrate Father's day with OUR BABY! I love knowing that our baby is going to have a Christian daddy who leads his family with prayer and love. I'm proud of the man that Bailey is today, but I can't wait to watch him become a daddy :) (I love this sweet birthday card he got from my Pop and Granny - For some reason I can't get it to rotate, but it says "we know you will be a great father to our great grand....")
Mama and Daddy got Bailey a clever/cute/awesome father's day gift - a daddy tool belt! It's a tool belt that has all of the essentials for Bailey - gloves, wipes, pacifier, ear plugs, butt paste, Febreeze, tongs, goggles, and SO much more (ok, maybe some of that is for the baby...if Bailey starts using the butt paste and pacifiers, we've got bigger issues).
After such a busy week/end, we came home last night and CRASHED - I think that was probably the best night of sleep I've had in 17 weeks :)
I have a doctor's appointment this Friday - I always get excited to see the baby and hear the heartbeat! I have to take an early glucose test this week, which I'm not really looking forward to. I'm hoping it's one of those things that people speak so poorly of, so I build it up in my head to be awful. Maybe because I've made it so awful, it won't be as bad as I hoped, right? A girl can dream :) Bailey doesn't work on Fridays anymore, so he'll be able to go to this appointment with me! He hasn't been able to go for the last 2 appointments, so I'm excited for him to get to see the baby! and THEN - the 3 week countdown is on until we find out if we're having a boy or girl. I can't wait to finally not have to use the term "it" when referring to our baby :)
Week 17 bump:
I have got to learn to take these pictures first thing in the morning when I get ready and my hair and makeup is fresh :)

Total weight gain/loss: I don't know! I don't weigh myself at home, and I don't have another doctor appointment until Friday!
Maternity clothes: No maternity clothes yet! My mama gave me a gift card to the Motherhood/Pea in the Pod cluster of stores, so I'm excited about that! We're heading to the beach in September - I'll definitely need maternity bathing suits by then...mine are already getting a little snug!
Sleep: The past two weeks I've had pretty disturbing dreams that have caused me to wake up crying in the middle of the night. Besides that, sleeping pretty well!
Best moment this week: Does finally taking my heels off after the wedding this weekend count?
Food cravings: Fruit - and pickles! I just hate saying I crave pickles...I've always liked them. and I don't eat them with anything weird. so it's not TOO cliché :)
Food aversions: Still chicken.
Gender: We find out July 11th!
Labor signs: Negative, ghost rider
Pregnancy symptoms: My appetite is getting better! yay! I'm still just tired, but at least I'm not crashing at 6:30 PM anymore!

What I am looking forward to: July 11th - boy or girl!?
Milestones: Bailey's first father's day!
