17 Week Update

How far along? 17 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: My doctor's scale says I gained 4lbs...grrr.
Maternity clothes? Same as last week...still wearing the baggy clothes.
Stretch marks? Just one still...his name is Herbie.
Sleep: Has become harder as I am very uncomfortable. I still find I spend most of my night peeing, rather than sleeping.
Best moment this week: The dentist told me that I only needed to get my wisdom teeth out...which is like DUH!
Movement: This baby dances about for Coldplay
Food cravings: Fruit...it's kinda weird.
Gender: While my hunch is girl...I have been thinking about how much fun it would be to have a boy!
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: My normal body...I just look like I am fat...not pregnant...BOO! Same as last week.
What I am looking forward to: Colbert's birthday! Yay!
Weekly Wisdom: Cloth diapers are so expensive, but will save me money in the end.
Milestones: I am still thinking my teeth are the biggest milestone! I hadn't been to the dentist in 4 YEARS!! The dentist was very impressed with my teeth, and the hygienist told me I had pretty teeth.

::WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH::

We had another doctor's appointment yesterday and all is looking FANTASTICO! The baby's heartrate was 147 and it all looks excellent! Next month is our big teeny peenie or wankadooda reveal...can't wait!!!

The doctor gave me a prescription for some lovely little pain pills to help with the intense headaches that I have been struggling with, and gave me a green light for calcium supplements. She quirked a smile when I told her even chocolate milk made me want to gag...not a big fan of the cow juice.

The weight gain is starting to kick in! Grrr...yes I know it is natural when you are pregnant...but egad! I just lost 20lbs before I was pregnant and it makes me wanna cry when I see old familiar numbers again. I do think I packed on a bit too much this last month so I am going to be more conscious of what I am eating. The goal is to gain 15-25lbs at the end of these 9 months...not more. So looks like salads and more veggies for me!!!
