17 Weeks - Orange




How far along: 17 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Still the 3 lbs. 
Baby Size: Orange ; 5.12" 4.94 oz. 
The Bump: Seems to be getting a little bigger!
Maternity clothes: Still just the tank tops and Belly Band
Stretch marks: Nope
How's sleep: Good but dream are at a heightened weirdness!
Miss anything: Not too much; besides eating/drinking certain things and doing handstands/headstands/kicks/jumps around the house (for those of you that don't know, I was a competitive gymnast most of my life and am now a dance/drill coach for a local high school), it's pretty much same old as not pregnant.
Baby movement: YES! I've felt it now about 3 different times. Last night there was actually quite a bit of movement (after I ate my Snickers ice cream bar!)! It's SO cool feeling! Nothing like the books/websites describe though; they say it's like hunger pains or butterflies flying around. To me if feels more like a little bubble popped, or someone flicked their finger lightly against my belly, but from the inside! I love it!
Food cravings: Sour grapefruit gummy candy
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope
Gender Prediction? It's not a prediction...we found out it's a GIRL!!!!
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time? Happy! Especially now knowing the sex and feeling movement!
Labor signs? Nope
Best moment this week? Feeling movement, finding out the gender and finding out the the blood test results for the genetic tests came back healthy!!!
Looking forward to: Feeling even more movement and finally telling the world that we're pregnant! And in a few weeks having daddy be able to feel the kicks!
