17 Weeks 1 Day

How Far Along: 17 weeks 1 Day

Size of baby: 5 inches long and 5 ounces (Weighs as much as a turnip.)

Gender: We'll find out September 12!

Maternity Clothes: Mixture of maternity and regular clothes. The BeBand doesn't help anymore. Dresses are most comfortable.
Weight gain: 0 pounds (official measurement at MD's office on Friday)

Movement: I'm feeling some popping and slight vibrations but don't really know what this is.

Sleep: Sleeping on side and back, with a body pillow. Crazy dreams and getting up to go to the bathroom.

Symptoms: Stretching/ligament pain. Increased appetite. Slight headaches.

What I miss: Deli Meat!
Cravings: Greg says that I'm craving random, odd food that I wouldn't eat if I wasn't pregnant. It changes on a daily basis.
Best moment this week: Seeing the baby belly; I feel like it's growing on a daily basis. Also, AFP test results came back negative (good).
What I am looking forward to: Monthly appointment this Friday, September 2. Maybe they can sneak in an u/s??
