17 weeks, 6 days!

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 17 weeks, 6 days

Size of baby: 5 inches long, 5 oz, about the size of a turnip.

Weight gain: Honestly, I have no idea, but I do know I've never weighed this much before.  I think I've gained about 10 pounds so far...and I'm loving it! 

Maternity Clothes: Yes! I definitely have to wear maternity pants and I have been wearing maternity shirts, but I can also wear some non-maternity shirts, too.

Gender: Don't know yet. I'm guessing boy, though.

Movement: YES!  I know I have been feeling little thumps.  Actually, they feel more like twitches to me.  But last night I was sitting at the kitchen table and I actually felt the baby roll over or flip or something!  It was so crazy because it was so strong! 

Sleep: I have to get up several times to go to the bathroom, but I can always go back to sleep.

Symptoms: My feet have been really sore lately. I'm sure it's from being on them the past 2 weeks working on my room at home. Still have some swelling in my feet and hands.  Chris also says I have started snoring loudly at night...ha! 
Cravings: FOOD period! I am loving food these days!

What I miss: Not a thing!

Best moment this week: Feeling the baby roll over!
What I am looking forward to: Finding out if it's a boy or girl and much stronger kicks!!

This is a picture I took in my classroom with the self timer on my camera.  I was so hoping no one would come in my room...ha!  Don't you love my school t-shirt?  I don't know what's wrong with the flash on my camera but sometimes it goes off and sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it just doesn't make the picture look good.  The first picture at the top bugs me so much because the flash did go off, but it made the picture a weird color.  The second picture is with the flash and it looks fine.  Anyway, we are going to get a new camera soon and keep this one for emergencies.  I just thought I would try taking a picture in my classroom to see what it looked like.  I also don't like it when Chris takes my picture because he is so tall, it makes me look funny.  Oh well!  At least you can see the baby bump :)
