17 Weeks

17 weeks

How far along? 17 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I honestly don't know. I haven't weighed myself lately.
Maternity clothes? I really need to start looking into getting some. I know I would be more comfortable if I did.
Stretch marks? Maybe a few small ones.
Sleep: much better this week. My body pillow has been a life saver with my back and helping me sleep. It's been a little difficult though just because I get so incredibly hot in the middle if the night.
Best moment this week: having Colton home more and knowing he'll be here for two more weeks.
Miss anything? Not this week. Things are good this week.
Movement: Lots and lots. It's been fantastic. This week baby actually got hiccups once this week which was so great to feel. I never noticed hiccups with Elli so it was so fun.
Food cravings: I really want soup from zupas
Anything making you queasy or sick: I've felt much more sick this week than I have for awhile, it's been weird. I mostly just think I haven't eaten enough or something. Eating generally does help me feel better.
Have you started to show yet: Starting to more and more. It's so fun and exciting,
Gender: just three more weeks. I can't wait!
Labor signs: nope! Stay away for months and months.
Bell button in or out? In in in. Please stay in.
Wedding rings on or off? On, though it's getting tighter.
Happy or moody most of the time: I think I'm generally happy, though Colton might disagree, I don't really know.
Looking forward to: gender, getting our house put back together and getting started on our nursery, feeling baby kicks from the outside

17 Weeks:

Your Baby is as Big as a Onion

• Her rubbery cartilage is now turning to bone.
• And she's growing some meat on those bones — putting on some fat.
• She's growing a stronger, thicker umbilical cord, too.

Baby continues to beef up. Now she's about 5.1 inches long and weighs about 5.9 ounces.

How far along? 16 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I'm still sitting at the same weight as I was before I got pregnant
Maternity clothes? A little more need for them this week and I've started looking into getting some more maternity jeans for the next little while.
Stretch marks? No new ones
Sleep: with Colton being gone up at school so often I have sleep pretty bad and been pretty darn tired lately, but luckily not like I was during my first trimester.
Best moment this week: getting to spend time with my family while dreaming of adding another to it.
Miss anything? This week no. I'm feeling pretty good overall.
Movement: Actually quite a bit this week!! Baby is starting to make itself known. When I sit still for awhile, especially in the evenings we get quite the bubbly acrobatic show.
Food cravings: nothing in particular.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Olive Garden...even thinking of eating it makes me feel nausea
Have you started to show yet: slowly starting to but it's still not really obvious yet.
Gender: October 1st! I really can't wait anymore. I almost went to a fetal studio to find out but I really want to do a gender reveal party so I guess we had better wait a little longer. I don't even know what I think anymore.
Labor signs: nothing, and hopefully nothing until I'm at least 39 weeks
Bell button in or out? In. I have the worlds deepest belly button though so I don't think it will change.
Wedding rings on or off? On, though the heat makes it harder to wear it and have it fit right.
Happy or moody most of the time: I'm happier now than I used to be for sure. Moody occasionally when I'm really tired though.
Looking forward to: finding out the gender, getting to decorate our nursery

16 Weeks:

Your Baby is as Big as a Avocado

• She's listening to your voice, thanks to tiny bones forming in her ears.
• She's growing hair, lashes and eyebrows.
• And she's forming taste buds.

Now, she's about 4.6 inches long and weighs about 3.5 ounces, and she's big enough that your doctor may be able to hear her heartbeat.
