17 Weeks

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.
