Along: 17 weeks
Size of baby: LBMH is the size of a sweet potato - 5.5 inches long and 5 ounces. This week, the baby is starting to yawn. So is Momma, since I'm not sleeping all as well these days.
Total Weight Gain: 6-8 pounds
Maternity Clothes: Depends, but they certainly are more comfortable...
Gender: ???
Movement: None yet!
What I miss: For some reason, I've really missed sodas this week. I didn't drink too many before I got pregnant, but all of a sudden Diet Coke looks amazing.
Cravings: Blueberry pancakes. Random, I know. Erik took me to breakfast to get them at a reasonable hour - even though I wanted them at midnight the night before...
Symptoms: Nothing too bad. Still loving the second trimester.
Best moment of the week: Our latest doctor's appointment on Monday. Dr. Patterson and I were chatting away while she was searching for the baby's heartbeat. After we had talked for a few minutes, she picked up the machine and reported that the baby's heartbeat was perfect at 150 beats per minute. I felt really dumb that I wasn't paying attention - especially after I laughed my way through the first doppler. Oh well!
Looking forward to: our next sonogram, where we find out the gender. We're just about a week away, and we can't wait to know!
