17 Weeks

How far along? 17 weeks :)

Total weight gain: I have a doctors appointment on Thursday so I'll let ya know then! I'm guessing between 5-8 pounds.

Maternity clothes? Not yet.

Sleep: I sleep pretty good most nights- my back usually hurts first thing in the morning but nothing unbearable :)

Best moment this week: Exactly a week ago we went to our 3D/4D ultrasound and were able to see our sweet little boy!

Movement: I feel him moving in the mornings and evenings. I think the reason I don't really feel him move during the day is because I'm just not paying as much attention throughout the day. At nights I will sit really still and wait for him to move- and he does :) He likes to be on my lower right side and if I poke around over there it aggravates him and he squirms around. Hehe!

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: no

Belly Button in or out? haha- in!

What I miss: not going to the bathroom every 2 hours :)

Weekly Wisdom:3D/4D ultrasounds are totally worth it! Most places have great packages and offer discounts on future visits. If you are in the Bowling Green are I highly recommend Precious Views!

Baby's Size:

The size of a sweet potato. Measuring 5.5 inches from head to rump and weighing 5-7 ounces.

Milestones:

His heart now pumps 25 quarts of blood through his body each day.

He can now yawn (what a necessary skill in the womb- haha).

His skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone.
