How far along: 17 Weeks
Baby Size: Onion
Total weight gain/loss: 6lbs
Maternity Clothes: For the most part i'm still wearing my clothes, but I bought a couple of maternity dresses that are so comfortable that i'm already wearing them.
Stretch marks: None that I know of. I'm also avoiding looking.
Sleep: Well if you don't count our noisy neighbor upstairs who decided to party hard till 4 in the morning saturday morning, I usually get a great nights sleep.
Best moment this week: Laying down in bed I had my hand on my belly and when I turned over I felt the baby kick me right on my thumb. I couldn't stop laughing because I kept thinking the baby was mad that I moved.
Miss Anything: We've been planning our trips to Venice and Paris, trying to find restaurants in both cities for us to eat in. Most places I will have a hard time finding food because the cheese is unpasteurized or there is semi raw food involved. So i'll be missing out on some exceptionally good food. I can still have escargot when I go to Paris so that made me a little happier.
Movement: Tons of kicking and moving around. I can feel it, but it's hard to feel it on the outside.
Food Cravings: Not cravings per say but when I was at the grocery store I saw sour cream and onion pringles and I just had to have some. I don't know if it was a craving or just missing certain foods from home.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really. The foods that I didn't like in the first trimester don't bother me anymore. I did have some cold soup at a restaurant the other day and I did not like it, but I don't really like the concept of cold soup.
Have you started to show yet: Yes, I've definitely got a small bump going on.
Gender: Don't know yet
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out: In
Wedding rings on or off: On
Mood: Feeling pretty good
Looking forward to: Getting out of town with Adam for our two trips and then again to visit our families.
