How far along? 17 weeks 0 daysTotal weight gain/loss: +10 pounds (Whew...same as last week)
Size: Onion, or 5 inches and 5 ounces
Baby Development: "Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now, and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop." (From babycenter.com)
Best moment this week: Seeing and holding Leah's new baby Ezra on Monday. Colin has also been more receptive to the idea that Momma has a baby in her belly. He talks to the baby, pokes my belly button, and kisses my belly.
Movement: I'm feeling a little bit of movement.
Food cravings: Meat, I guess. Fruit, I guess. Nothing too major.
Food aversions: Rich sweets like cupcakes and brownies
Stretch marks?: None.
Maternity clothes?: I busted out the maternity shorts a couple of days. Otherwise I've been wearing mesh Champion shorts and most of my regular shorts/capris. I'm still wearing non-maternity shirts. Over the weekend I dug out my maternity clothes and sorted them to be washed. I won't need them for awhile, and it's mostly pants and long sleeved shirts.
Sleep?: I'm sleeping great. Every night I tell myself I'm going to go to bed at 9:00. But then 10:00 rolls around. Argh.
Gender?: We won't be finding out.
Belly button?: It's very circular and not very deep.
What are you looking forward to this week?: Being done with another week of summer school (Homestretch--3 down, 2 to go!). Kevin's favorite holiday is 4th of July, and he lights fireworks, so we'll be doing that on Monday. Last year Colin passed out about 2 fireworks into the show. We'll see what he does this year!
