17 weeks!

Today I am officially through 4 months of pregnancy!  I can't believe how fast it is flying by!  Even more exciting, next Monday we will find out if we are having a boy or a girl!  I can't wait!  Stay tuned!! :)



How far along?: 17 weeks
Total weight gain: 8 pounds
How big is baby?:  5.5 inches, 5 ounces
Maternity clothes?: I bought my first pair of maternity pants the other day and they might be the most comfortable pants ever!  My old jeans are still around, but getting more and more uncomfortable.
Stretch marks?: Nope!
Sleep?:  Still sleeping great, besides having to get up to go the bathroom!  But I'm finding that I need more sleep to get through the day, otherwise an hour nap is a necessity!
Best moment this week?: Feeling the baby nudge me (from the inside) when I pushed down on my stomach!  
Movement?:  About a week ago I started feeling little flutters here and there, but I was never really sure if it was the baby or not.  But the last couple days I have really started to feel the little one moving.  It just feels like little pokes in my lower abdomen.  It is the best feeling in the world. 
Food cravings?:  Nothing too crazy, just sweets!  I can't get enough of cookies, chocolate or ice cream!
Belly button in or out?: Innie, let's hope it stays that way!
What I miss:  Drinking a glass of red wine at night and a cold beer on a hot day!  But it is all worth it!
What I'm looking forward to:  Our new house being finished so I can start setting up the nursery.  :)
Milestone:  At this point the baby can hear me talk and sing.  They say that a baby can actually recognize a song that was sung to them in the womb.  Too bad I have an awful voice!  Ha ha!
