How far along? 17 weeks! Baby is now the size of an onion! About 5 inches long and weighs about 5 ounces.
Total weight gain/loss: +7 lbs total. I'm ashamed to admit that. I noticed a few days ago that by the end of the day I have cankles. I have NEVER retained water this early in my pregnancy, but I guess with my other two kids I was in my 3rd trimester during the summer. I need to drink A LOT more water.
Maternity clothes? Mostly maternity now, but some of my regular clothes. This 3rd pregnancy sure has made my belly pop sooner.
Stretch marks? None from this pregnancy yet
Sleep: I'm still sleeping very well. This week I've been extremely tired and get super cranky by the end of the day. I think the heat is getting to me and I need to get more sleep if possible. It's hard when I'm working 10 hour days and then come home to take care of the kids.
Best moment this week: Finding out that we're having a GIRL!
Movement: YES! I've felt a lot more movement throughout the day. It's not consistent yet, but I'm sure it will be soon.
Food cravings: I made a request to my Mom this week to make me her "Nuts and Bolts" mix. This is something she usually only makes at Christmas time. It's just a mixture of chex mix, peanuts, and chinese noodles. It's so good. It definitely hasn't helped my water retention, but it will be gone soon. Thanks Mom!
Gender: A princess.
Labor Signs: Not for a very long time I hope.
Belly Button in or out? Still in and I don't expect it to pop out.
What I miss: Nothing
What I am looking forward to: Our little vacation this weekend!
Weekly Wisdom: Drink more water.
Milestones: Sporting quite a baby bump now and I love it!
