So much for doing an update every week... we have been terribly busy the last few weeks. Patrick was working longer days, so without a photographer I did not get myself into gear with posting. It's 2 weeks at a time this week.
Size of Baby: According to babycenter.com at 17 weeks the baby was about 5 inches long and weighed 5 ounces the size of a turnip. At 18 weeks the baby weighed 5 and a half ounces and was 7 inches long, about the length of a bell pepper.
Maternity Clothes: Stretchy summer dresses and more maternity capris, I love the dresses though.
Gender: Appointment set for July 30th... we have started referring to the baby as "he" though.
Belly Button In/Out: Still in, thank goodness! But I can tell it is changing.
Stretch Marks: None so far... hoping it stays that way.
Labor Signs: None so far... praying these won't happen for a long time!
Movement: I felt the baby for sure at 17 weeks. It is funny what gets him moving... singing at church on Sunday and the loud scanners at work.
Sleep: Good days and bad days, still able to sleep on my stomach sometimes, which really helps.
What I miss: Diet Coke... it's so weird because just a few weeks ago it was the last thing I wanted.
What I am looking forward to: A week until the Olympics.. oh and some much needed time off work!
Cravings/Aversions: Still loving Mexican food... and eating carrot sticks and fruit like they are going out of style.
Symptoms: Still feeling much better in the nausea department! Starting to feel bigger though...
Best Moment This Week: Feeling real movement in my 17th week, it is the strangest feeling. Hearing our little ones heartbeat at the doctor last week... always a reminder of just what a miracle God has given us.
