17 Weeks

Your Baby: Week 17

Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.

How far along? 17 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 7 lbs 

Maternity clothes? Had to break down and buy some pants. My other pants were getting very uncomfortable!!

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: I have no problem falling asleep. When I lay down at night it is game over. I do have more energy throughout the day for sure. 

Best moment this week: Getting more and more rooms organized so I can find the nursery and start decorating.

Have you told family and friends: Yes!

Miss Anything? Sleeping on my stomach and fitting into my old jeans.

Movement: Not yet, but I hear it is close to feeling it.

Food cravings: Kyle thinks the baby is going to come out part Mexican. Something that always sounds good is Mexican food. Regardless if it is Taco Bell or El Meson.

Anything making you queasy or sick: My morning sickness has subsided but I have been getting sick at night....STILL!

Have you started to show yet: Yeah, this week is when everyone started to notice it more. It is getting harder to hide for sure.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! But still wishing I would stop getting sick!! On the positive side, at least it is only once a day if that.

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender....3/13/2013!!
