17 Weeks

How Far along: 17 weeks


Total weight gain: I don't know, but I am guessing around 3 pounds. My next appointment is not until April 12th.


Maternity clothes: On occasion. I can still fit a couple pairs of my pre-pregnancy pants, but that won't last too much longer. Plus, I can still wear my big sweaters since it hasn't warmed up too much yet.

Sleep: Not the best. I toss and turn due to sciatica, and my few trips to the bathroom during the night.

Best Moment this week: This week and every week is listening to my baby's heartbeat with my Doppler! Such a wonderful sound!

Movement: Not that I can tell. I thought on a few occasions that I might have felt something, but it could have been gas or spasms in my tummy.

Gender: I find out April 12th, but I have a feeling it is a boy.

Labor signs: None

Belly button: It is being stretched so it is in between.

Cravings: Popeye's Chicken Spicy! I can eat that everyday if given the chance!


What I miss: My wonderful metabolism. I hate being gassy all the time.

Stretch Marks: No new ones.

What I am looking forward to this week: Hopefully to feel the baby, and know for sure. Other than that, I have nothing. Looking forward to the 12th.


ETA: Sorry for no pic. Our computer is dead. I hope to add one soon.
