17 weeks

How far along: 17 weeks

Size of baby: About the size of an onion; 5.1 inches and 5.9 ounces

Total Weight Gain/Loss: still down from pre-pregnancy weight but up almost 1 lb from my lowest weight

How I'm Changing: still rocking the small bump - definitely needing to eat smaller more frequent meals to avoid discomfort and heartburn

Maternity Clothes:  wearing them and loving it

Gender: unknown (but only for another week or so!)

Movements: still nothing but patiently waiting :-)

Sleep: my sleep has been ok lately - started having some weird dreams again

Symptoms:  still having some headaches and I notice some round ligament pain if I try to stand for the entire time on rounds so I've been finding chairs when possible

How I'm feeling: excited and good - I am looking forward to seeing our family and friends over the holidays and sharing in our excitement with them.  Overall I feel really lucky that I haven't had any serious symptoms aside from fatigue and minor discomfort.

What I Miss: red wine, other adult beverages, sushi, and being close to our families

Cravings: not much in the way of cravings 

Best Moment(s) of the Week: finding out the quad screen came back all negative and spending a relaxing weekend at home with B - I am treasuring these weekends with little to do because beginning at the end of this month we are going to have a run of busy weekends.  Fortunately that is because we are making trips to see family and friends so that will be really fun.

What I am Looking Forward To: Seeing our baby on u/s in just 9 days! Also I am personally pretty excited about my hair appointment on Thursday - I really like the girl that does my hair and it is a nice time to get pampered a bit.
