How big is baby: According to my Baby Center email this week, the baby is the size of a turnip.
Weight gain/loss: +1 lb from last week (weighed at doctor for total of 5.5lbs)
Stretch marks: None
Sleep: Sleeping well at night and now making myself go to bed around 10-10:30pm. If I stay up later I have a harder time falling asleep or end up falling asleep on couch and waking up at 2am confused.
Diet/cravings/aversions: The only real craving I have is for pop. I tried drinking a Coke Zero and it tasted so gross. I need a real Coke or Dr. Pepper to really satisfy that craving.
Symptoms: After bragging about only being sick once last week, I've been getting more sick this week. I blame it on my overactive sinus drainage and dripping. Yuck.
Exercise: Walking to the bus stop and pulling the wagon:)
Gender: Surprise! I thinking more boy now after strong feelings of a girl for the first 3.5 months. Guess we will know come February.
Movement: Lots of movement this week. Some have been pretty strong.
The belly: Popping out more and more. There is now way I could button my pants now! I'm still at that stage where my shirts are too short/snug but maternity tops are too big.
Worries: Still feeling the tightening/cramping every so often. I was checked this week after my shot and my cervix is all closed up like it should be. They switched my appointment around this week for my shot so I could see my regular doctor. He's more strict and I worry he will start my bed rest earlier now than originally planned.
What I'm loving: Sleeping well and baby kicks!
17 weeks! Woo hoo! I love that you're not finding out the sex of the baby. That's going to be such a fun surprise.
