17 Weeks


How far along: 17 Weeks!
Baby size: 5 inches long, 5 oz (about the size of an turnip)
Weight gain: I am pretty much at my starting weight again, maybe gained a pound or two. 
Maternity clothes: It might be time to invest soon. My skinny jeans are becoming a little too tight.
Sleep: Sleeping has been so much better. I feel like I actually wake up in the morning refreshed and ready to go.
Gender: I think we are both hoping it will be a boy. We think we need a trial run first before we attempt to raise a precious girl :)
Best moment this week: Going to the doctor and hearing the heart beat. She said she could also hear the little one moving around a lot, we could hear it too!
Looking forward to: Setting up the appointment when we can possibly find out the gender!
What I miss: My jeans buttoning up without any problems. Also my garments feel tight around my waist and some of my pj's too. It is kind of annoying because I have to find the perfect spot for them to rest and if they get out of place it can be the worst.
Movement: I'll pretend like I feel some movement. I haven't had any sure jabs or anything but I definitely feel things sometimes and I guess it could be baby "flutters."
Food cravings: S'mores. I actually have just had some sweet cravings and s'mores sounded extra delicious.
Aversions: I tried some sweet potato fries this week and they were pretty good. Hopefully I can like sweet potatoes again.
Nursery: No new nursery updates but we did buy a stroller/car seat and a diaper bag this week which was fun :)
Miscellaneous: 17 weeks has been fun. We took a little weekend trip after our doctors appointment to D.C. and it was just the vacation we needed. It was really nice to get away for 36 hours and see the cherry blossoms, go to the temple, and eat some delicious food.
