17 Weeks

How far along:  17 weeks

Weight: 172...losing weight - don't mind if I do ;)

Maternity clothes: Need em, love em.

Stretch marks: Nothing new that I can tell. But I am hating the hairy belly I get when prego (tmi? :)

Sleep: Ok...if Sydney would sleep through the night. RLS is in full swing, but lavender essential oil is really helping as well as the wonderful leg massages from my honey.

Best moment of this week: Finding out it's most likely a girl (she's not very cooperative...hands and cord always in the way) and getting to eat coconut soup!

Miss anything: Hmm...

Movement: I can feel the baby a tiny bit, just little flutters.

Food cravings: Coconut soup...even after I ate a delicious bowl of it at Thai Foon at the Gateway.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Smells...good or bad. Too much of any smell makes me sick!

Have you started to show yet: A smidge...finally able to just let it out!

Gender: Most likely a girl...official ultrasound is May 10!

Labor signs: None, there won't be for awhile.

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: Off...had to take it off a couple weeks ago because my finger kept getting a rash.

Happy or moody most of the time: Still anxious, but feeling better about c-sec because my doc says I'm the perfect candidate for a vbac. And we'll be sticking around here at least until the baby is a few months old. Maybe Michael will internship in the spring.

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender officially and setting up her (or his) room.
