17 Weeks


*This week the baby is:   About 5.3 inches long and  5.3-7oz.  Baby was about 5 oz a week ago, so we're growing a little  chubber.  :)
*How far along:  17w1d
*Due Date: September 24th, 2013.
*Total Weight gain/loss: Since my 14 week appointment where I was up 14 pounds I have been trying to keep the weight from going up for a bit.  Unfortunately, my body doesn't care that I'm eating less than before, and I gained 3 more pounds.  Pretty depressing.  Ugh.  I think my body is just maybe one of those ones that holds onto every possible morsel and water weight.  Lucky me.  Now to try to gain only 5 more pounds or so by week 30.  Is that even possible??  
*Maternity Clothes:  I wish I had a place to wear my maternity clothes but when we don't go out much and I wear the same thing to work day in and out it's kinda sad.  I need to get summer gear soon.  I have at least three weddings this summer/fall (the last one I may or not still be pregnant), so I want to buy some hot dresses.  :)  I need shorts and apparently I need tank tops that aren't see-through when the light shines a spotlight on my enormous and ever-growing tatas.
*Sleep: Yup still like to sleep, but it's getting a tad better.
*Best moment this week:  Ultrasound at 16 weeks exactly!!!
*Movement?  Seems like for the past week or so baby is moving a few times throughout each day now.  Can't wait to feel baby on the outside and see my belly move.  
*Food Cravings:  None really.
*Symptoms:  My nipples and area surrounding are just so sensitive.  That's scary, how painful is breastfeeding going to be??!  I hardly ever gag anymore but still feel sick for a while each day, but not too badly.  My body parts go numb easier for some reason.  
 Gender:  It's there.
*Labor Signs: Nope.
*Belly Button in or out:  Still in.
*Feeling toward Pregnancy:  Had a moment today of panic about whether or not I will like being a parent.  
*What I miss:  Sleeping better and not peeing every 5 seconds, and having smaller boobs and not freaking out about my weight gain.
*What I'm looking forward to:  Feeling babies different parts through my belly.
*Milestones:  We had our ultrasound last tuesday!  We got to see the baby!  He was moving around like crazy.  We took video with our phones and picture too.  That was a great time watching our little baby on that screen.  Very joyous for sure!  His head measured a week ahead and he weighed 5 oz which was the top end of the average.
*Any new stretchmarks: My boob's stretch marks from before are darkening on the side.  Wonderful.
 *Things We Have Gotten:   Nothing in the past week.
