17 Weeks

Here's the 17 week Bump!  I'm still feeling great, and still in awe at the size of my tummy!  But I've been feeling a few more flutters this week so it's really starting to feel a little more real to me!  And I'm one week closer to finding out the gender too!

Here's my recap!

How far along? 17 Weeks

Total weight gain: Still 3 Pounds.
Inches gained in the waist: 4" (my 4 ½” of last week might have just been dinner :p)

Maternity clothes? Yes!!

Stretch marks?  None on the belly!

Sleep: Some nights are better than others, but I have been having very vivid dreams!  Last night I had to talk my old Drama Teacher down from killing the man who was sleeping with is wife…  yeah. 

Best moment this week:  I have been feeling more movement!  And I found a very clear heartbeat on my home Doppler – Baby is very active though, so as soon as I find the heartbeat, baby runs away!!!!! 

Miss Anything?   Sleeping on my tummy… 
Movement: Yes!  I’m sure of it!  So far it’s been about 4 times that I’ve noticed! 

Food cravings: Not especially, It’s typically based off of a suggestion, like someone saying they are having pizza for lunch or something, and I either think “mmm I want pizza” or “meh, not feeling it”

Anything making you queasy or sick:   Smells have been affecting me, like last night I made spaghetti, and home made meat sauce, and it was delicious at the time, and then the smell of the dirty sauce pot started making me feel gross so I had to rinse it out right away. 

Gender: Unknown – Only 2 more weeks! 

Labor Signs: Too early! 

Symptoms:  Memory is just crap, and some days I get the fatigue again, but so far so good! 

Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? Off, but I'm still wearing my "replacement ring" which is my old junior high ring from my parents.

Happy or Moody most of the time:  Very Happy!

Looking forward to:  Finding out the gender!  And seeing our little one again!!
