17 Weeks

       After my 17 week doctor appointment, I headed to Oklahoma to see my family. This picture was taken at 17 weeks 2 days right after brunch with my mom, sis, and Brandon...I completely ran out of ideas for this pic so please forgive the randomness.

Total weight gain/loss: +7 …yes it went down from last week. Apparently my scale at home is off because when I went to the dr. I found out I only gained 5 pounds from week 7-17…so I just added another two for the first 7 weeks.

Baby’s Size: Onion…my favorite!

Maternity clothes? Stretchy dresses and work out clothes…I’m on the border of clothes not fitting
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: great

Best moment this week: Doctor’s appointment and heading to Oklahoma

Miss Anything?  Nope

Movement: Yes…more and more

Food cravings: Chocolate shake

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nope

Have you started to show yet:  A little

Gender prediction: Matt has a STRONG feeling it’s a boy! ;)

Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out?  In
Wedding rings on or off?  On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy

Looking forward to:  Finding out the gender

       My 17 week appointment went well…healthy heart beat of 153 bpm. The next appointment is an anatomy screening ultrasound and gender (but we may wait until that weekend to find out ourselves). So be expecting an update around July 1st on the gender (my birthday).

       Friday (17 weeks) I headed to Oklahoma with my dad to visit my mom, sis, and brother for a long weekend. It was nice to catch up, shop, and especially relax by the pool even though I got a crazy splotchy sunburn. I am so proud of my little brother, who will be a senior in high school this coming year (ahh I feel old), but has started taking college classes this summer. He is experiencing the long days you sometimes get while in college this week, but I know it will pay off in the end. The visit continued into my 18th week....
