Baby B: 17 Weeks

As of last Saturday, we are 17 weeks pregnant with Baby B! My stomach is definitely starting to pop out.  In just 3 short weeks we will find out whether we have a he or a she growing in there!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 17 weeks

Size of baby: 5 inches long and 5 oz., about the size of a turnip

Weight gain: -4 (not sure how since I have a belly starting to form!)

Maternity Clothes: Maternity jeans and now some shirts

Gender: TBD December 12!

Movement: I may have possibly felt the baby this weekend, but it was such a light flutter I am not sure

Sleep: Insomnia and crazy dreams. With Ashlynn, I had scary/bad dreams, but with this baby I have dreams where I stress out about something that happened that day. Ex: Tossing and turning all night because I dreamt that the only food we had was stuffing and Ashlynn was starving

Symptoms:  I am pretty tired once night hits, have a weird appetite, and very hormonal

What I miss: Nothing! 

Cravings: Fruit, chicken, coke and candy

Best moment this week: Celebrating Thanksgiving with my sweet family

What I am looking forward to: Introducing Ashlynn to the fun of Christmas, and more importantly the reason we celebrate!

Dad and Big Sister: Mark had 4 days off of work, so we enjoyed spending quality time with him! Big Sister Ashlynn must know I am tired, because she has been sleeping better at night!
