| At our friend's house celebrating New Year's Eve |
Total weight gain/loss: +7.5 pounds
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: 8-10 hours of sleep every night. I wake up once in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
Best moment this week: Celebrating New Year's Eve - it was nice and relaxing. We went out of town to hang out with some college friends. We went out to eat and then went back to my friend's house to play games and ring in the new year! It snowed all night, so we stayed in a hotel and drove back home the next day.
Have you told family and friends: Yes
Miss Anything? My relatively flat stomach
Movement: Three nights ago, right at 17 weeks, my belly felt like jello. I sat very still and felt one single "pop." It was so cool, but I haven't felt anything more since.
Food cravings: Nothing specific, just have to make sure I eat every 2 hours or so.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Getting too hungry
Have you started to show yet: Yes
Gender prediction: My husband thinks the baby's a boy. I still don't have a strong feeling one way or the other.
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: None - this is the most normal I've felt since I was about 5 weeks pregnant.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy
Looking forward to: Our 18-week appointment with the OB/GYN. Hopefully we get to hear the heartbeat again!
Here's some info. from babycenter.com on pregnancy at 17 weeks:
Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.
