17 Weeks

Photobucket
How far along? 17 weeks. Baby is the size of an onion. 
Maternity clothes? Not yet. I stopped in one of the only maternity stores in town and it was really depressing. Everything was cheaply made and overpriced.
Stretch marks? Not yet.
Sleep: Pretty good!

Best moment this week: Can Easter candy be a best moment of the week? Because I’m really loving it right now!
Miss Anything? Nope.
Movement: Not yet.
Food cravings: Still the same favorites this week: pickles, raspberries, and cottage cheese.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Raw meat, carrots, and broccoli.
Gender: We find out in less than 3 weeks and we can’t wait.
Labor Signs: Way too early.
Symptoms: Just feeling a little tired.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood: Excited.

Looking forward to:  Finding out the gender and getting started on the nursery.

    You look sooo great! Depressing that the maternity place didn't have anything fun. Although I'm pretty sure you're going to have adorable maternity style regardless.

    You are looking so good mama! I love your little bump! I know the obviously answer is a healthy baby…but if you could pick would you want a boy or girl first?

    I see a baby bump! So cute:) And yes maternity clothes can be hard to find but I invested in a few really nice staples and then found some cute tops from, believe it or not, forever 21 and h&m. I made it through but am happy to be back in my regular clothes:)

    If it weren't for Easter candy, I would probably weigh 5 lbs less!
