Seventeen Week Update

(I have a post on the Gender Reveal party but keep leaving my SD card at home so I'll post it when I remember!)

How far along? 17 weeks (The size of a bell pepper.  She measured 4.5" crown to rump Thursday.)

Total weight gain/loss: Down one pound down from pre-pregnancy weight.
 
Maternity clothes: Nope but I have started going through all I have.  Still hoping I'm not in them until after we move.

 
Have you told family and friends?  Everybody knows now :)


Have you started to show yet? I can but people still are telling me daily that I don't look pregnant and my clothes aren't tight yet.  My sister (Leigh) says she can see my bump. 

Sleep:  It comes and goes.  I think now my brain is affecting it more though than uncomfortableness, nausea or heat waves though.

Best moment this week:Our sonographer was VERY patient and went through every single body part (heart chambers, brain/brain stem, kidneys, lungs, spine, etc.) and her exact words were, "This baby looks perfect!"  Without a doubt, the best moment of the week.

Miss Anything? Worry free days.  The devil is really playing with my minds and dreams about the baby's health and I am pretty much ALWAYS fighting the urge to worry myself sick.

Movement: I think I am feeling her semi-regularly now but I am definitely ready to feel her all the time.

Food cravings: Still not really into sweets but when I am ready to eat, I AM READY TO EAT!  Right then!


Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!

Gender prediction: GIRL.  According to the sonogram the Chinese Gender Calender and every single old wives tale was WRONG!  (Refer to my earlier posts!)

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: I feel so good right now that it would just be wrong of me to complain. 

(Note:  REALLY I don't generally look this pregnant.  I am definitely getting there but this was in really tight clothes, right after I had two bowls of vegetable soup, two pieces of cornbread and two bags of mini vanilla wafers and after a REALLY LONG day which had followed a REALLY LONG NIGHT.  Just saying, don't expect to see me in regular clothes at a normal time and me look anything like this.)
