{17} Weeks

How far along: 17 Weeks

            Weeks to go: 23.. give or take a few!

Baby is the size of: A turnip

Gender Prediction: Pretty convinced girl this week.

Weight gain: Who knows? And really, who cares?!
Symptoms: Heartburn, Achy joints (my bad knee has really been aching -- might be from the weather or the squats I've been doing as well), super crampy.  Oh - and just like my last pregnancy, I sneeze every time I eat peanut butter. Thank Goodness no migraines recently .. knock on wood!

Mood: Feeling a little less emotional this week... 

Maternity clothes: Still have the maternity pants are too big for my butt but regular pants are too small for my belly/hips dilemma. I basically wear leggings and one pair of maternity jeans. Mostly maternity tops, but I'm being creative with non-maternity tops, too. 

Cravings: Clementines (anything citrus-y), Yogurt parfaits (Thanks to a friend's bridal shower, I've been eating one every day!), baked potatoes, eggs & hashbrowns.

Aversions: None really. 

Belly button in or out: Can we just not even talk about this? I'm totally freaked out by my belly button.

Sleep: Trice slept in until 7:45 one day this week! YAY! Unfortunately, I just toss and turn once he climbs in our bed. The hips aching make it a bit difficult to get comfortable. 

Movement: Yes.. there is movement going on in there and I'm not letting anyone tell me any different. 

Labor Signs: Nope. 

Best moment this week: Visit from an old college friend, a double date with a couple we ALWAYS have fun with (I swear the wife is my twin), taking Trice bowling for the first time, Trice sleeping in until 7:45 on Sunday morning, a relaxing weekend at home!

Worst moment this week: Finding out some devastating news that my best friend in town will be leaving me .. seriously, who does that? ;) It's going to be rough for Trice and me! 

Miss anything: Maybe just peeing less! When I'm not pregnant, I swear I pee twice a day. Now I'm going every 5 minutes!

Trice's Thoughts this Week: A couple time she has had a baby in his belly. Once he told me he wanted baby to come out and go bowling with him. He thinks maybe baby could sleep in the basement now.
