17 weeks!


how far along: 17 weeks yesterday

how big is baby: The baby is the size of an onion.  It's about 5.1 inches long and weighs a whopping 5.9 oz! :)

symptoms: I'm glad to say I've gotten rid of the gagging and not being able to eat.   Now I'm hungry all the time!  Last night I woke up with a bad pain in my right leg.  I guess its from sleeping on my right side.  I was tossing and turning and trying to get comfortable, it still hurt.  I got up to use the restroom and I could barely walk.  Today it's sore but okay. 

cravings / aversions: I think I'm doing okay on this part.  I'm craving fruits and anything I can get my hands on.  I was hungry this morning so I stopped for a breakfast taco....I gagged when I ate the eggs.  I guess I'm not quite ready for that yet. 

movement: Last night when I was talking to myself trying to fall asleep :) I felt a small kick or punch. It was enough to shoot my eyes open lol  But, I've only felt it once and I'm not 100% it was the baby, but its def. different from anything I've ever felt before. 


gender: we find out on August 3rd, when we get back from vacation!

belly button: I still have an innie.  I finally took my belly button ring out yesterday.  It was kind of a sad moment.  No, I don't flaunt it-but still-I've had it for like 8 years.  Edgar was VERY happy to see it gone!

sleep: I'm having no problems sleeping right now.  ::knock on wood::

what i'm looking forward to: Going on vacation to California for a family wedding and just to hang out.  Then finding out the sex on August 3rd.

what i miss: I still miss food.  As much as I'm eating I still feel like I'm not 100% back to the way I was before. 

highlights this past week: Celebrating our wedding anniversary and realizing my belly "popped".  It's crazy to see it but I LOVE staring at it!
