17 Weeks

Yay! Finally on time! I am exactly 17 weeks today. The baby is now the size of a turnip...5 inches long and about 5 ounces. His soft cartilage is changing to hard bone and he can move his joints!

How Far Along - 17 weeks
Size of Baby -A turnip
Total Weight Gain - I am going to be honest, I have not stepped on the scale. I have always gone by the Doc's scale, so I will just wait two more weeks - right after Thanksgiving. That should turn out well!
Maternity Clothes - I must admit that I did wear maternity pants that my Mom got me the other day. I really am not that big yet, but they are just so darn comfortable. I am still in the stage if people wonder if I am fat or just pregnant. Ahhhh
Gender - Still no clue, will know on December 2 - if the baby cooperates!
Sleep - My stomach is starting to hurt when I lay on my side for awhile and then switch to another side. I really need to get a body pillow this weekend.
What I Crave - Still the homemade chocolate chip cookies (I have yet to make them!) Any volunteers? I just can't get the motivation!
Symptoms - My belly is starting to get bigger - not too much but I can tell
and so can Michael. My boobs are also bordering on porn star status, and I am told they are only going to get bigger. I see a lift and reduction in my future! I am still tired a bit, but I am feeling pretty good right now! Apparently the second trimester is when women feel the best, so I should live it up!
Baby Purchases - None this week; well maybe black out blinds for the baby room. The room has never had blinds, and it really needs it! Plus there is a sale this weekend - bonus! There is also a Phillies shirt for ME that I am thinking about getting (HINT CHRISTMAS MICHAEL HINT)Love it!
