17 Weeks

Baby’s Size: Turnip

Baby’s Milestones: Right now baby is about 3 inches long (crown to rump) and weighs about 3½ ounces. Body fat is beginning to accumulate and baby can definitely hear. Baby's eyes are in their final position and can move side to side. Baby is also practicing sucking and swallowing skills.

My Weight: 151 (I’m finally up a pound! I didn’t know it was possible to be so excited about gaining weight until I saw that number on the scale.)

Symptoms: Nothing really new to report this week.

Cravings: Although I haven’t really had any strong or weird cravings the entire pregnancy, this week has been especially boring. I haven’t even had any slight cravings. I’m still enjoying my morning glass of milk though. ;)

TP: 9 ¼

Measurements: Waist: 30½ Below Belly Button: 35

Emotions: This is the first week I have had any mood swings (besides the crying). I have been under a lot of stress at work so I am sure that had something to do with it, but I stood up to co-workers and replied back somewhat harshly to a few e-mails. Everything I wrote and said was deserved by the recipients, but the “normal” me would never have had the courage to actual say what I said. I normally just think it and vent to Nic or write what I am thinking in a much nicer “sugar-coated” way. For whatever reason, my hormones decided that I had had enough and I turned kind of mean this week.

Feeling the Baby: I felt the baby pretty consistently last week, but I haven’t felt anything this week.
