How far along? 17 weeks. In 3 weeks we will be half way to meeting our baby. Yikes, time is flying by. Though I feel like I look rather big!
We started a 'tracing' routine with our weekly pictures. I now trace the size of my belly each week on the same sheet of paper, to see how large it's gotten. I probably won't share every week, but I will in a few weeks when you can see a few lines drawn.
How big is baby? 5 ounces/5 inches plus legs! The size of a turnip.
Weight gain? +5 pounds total! (going to go by my own scale)
Symptoms? Sore back, frequent bathroom trips!
Sleep? So far so good. I do get up to use the bathroom at least once a night though. I'm debating whether to try one of the sleeping pillows, has anyone else?
Food cravings? Mostly dry, salty things, like potato chips. Oh and I am in love with SoBe Lifewater 0 Calorie Yumberry Pomegranate.
Movement? Not yet, but looking forward to it!
Clothes? Well I started wearing maternity pants. They are much, much more comfy then regular jeans. Many of my gifts under the Christmas tree were several maternity tops so I will be wearing those frequently as well. They tend to be a bit more comfy.

What I am looking forward to? 1 week until we find out the gender and then to do some shopping/nursery designing!
Milestones? The baby's bones are hardening and it now has finger prints. He/She can move her joints now
Other? Nesting has set in. I am in a mood to clean, clean, clean and organize, organize, organize so the next few weeks should be rather interesting!
Now that we're back to work after the New Year/Holiday sometimes people look at me like, hmm, did she eat too many cookies over the holidays? I work with so many people, I just don't go around announcing it. It's kind of funny but I'll be happy when it's a bit more obvious!
I decided to just post the same post on a 'baby blog' for family and friends to see it there instead of removing old stuff here.

Cute! I think from your cravings that you are having a boy. If you think the pregnancy pillow might help your back pain I would say get one. Try a pillow between the legs first though it does wonders. My friend let me borrow her pregnancy pillow and I haven't really used it yet and I'm 24 weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou look great! And you already have such a nice round thing going on. I don't think it's big for 17 weeks, looks pretty average! My belly has a random flat part around my belly button which 100% takes away from the cuteness. So you are a lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteYou are looking AWESOME girl! I'm so excited for you!
