How big is baby?:
"Try not to get freaked out by the numbers on your scale. At 17 weeks, baby’s working on getting stronger, and your body’s working on getting bigger. That means putting on some pounds and -- we hate to break it to you -- getting some stretch marks. Make sure you document your growing bump by taking lots of photos. Sure, you might not always feel so pretty, but one day you’re going to look back at pregnancy and reminisce (really -- we promise). You’ll also want to start figuring out some plans, like whether or not you’re going to find out baby’s gender (you should be able to soon!), and what kind of childbirth class you’d like to take. As you start making these decisions, the pregnancy will feel even more real, which is probably super exciting, but part of you is probably feeling a little nervous. After all, you’re at week 17; that’s almost halfway there and there’s still a lot left to do. Chill! You’ll get it done. Just remember not to try to do it all yourself -- ask for help!"
How far along?: 17 weeks
Maternity clothes?: Are good! They're having a great sale this weekend at Motherhood Maternity so, I shall check out some deals!
Movement: He's a swimmy little fish in there. Still lower abdomen and it's never consistent, but I feel it more!
Stretch marks?: None and let's hope it stays that way!
Sleep?: Still rough. I really need to go get that body pillow, hopefully that'll help.
Symptoms?: Nothing new. Well, I lied. Milk has been making my stomach upset so, I don't know what's going on there.
Food cravings: If it's salty, carb-y and meat-y, I want it.
What I miss: Nothing really.
What I'm looking forward to: My appointment on Wednesday to see Spock again! And re-confirm he's still a boy!
Milestone: More consistent movement and actually looking pregnant!
