Seventeen weeks

How Far Along: 17 weeks

Total weight gain: on my scale at home, 3.7lbs.  At the Dr I am 1.6lb up from my 5wk appt.

Maternity clothes: Still about half and half.

Sleep: More getting up to pee :(

What do you miss: I would say I miss being not so tired, but I'm always tired anyway!

Movement: Last week I thought I had felt him a few times, but now I'm less sure.  We'll see how it continues.

Food cravings: Nothing in particular right now.

Anything making you queasy or sick: I haven't been feeling very well in the evenings again which is a bummer!

Symptoms: Sore back from time to time, feeling more pregnant and "full" in my belly lately! 

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: Sleepy :)

Best part of the week: Not much happened this week, but it's been nice and relaxing

Looking forward to: I think we're going to Ikea tomorrow to buy stuff to organize the closet!

So babycenter says Oliver is about 5" and 5oz this week, the Bump says 5.1" and 5.9oz.  So somewhere around there!  Turnip/Onion sized Oliver :)

His cartilage is turning into harder bones, he's putting on some fat, and generally working on growing bigger and stronger. 

I had a midwife appt on Thurs.  It went well!  My blood pressure was 121/71, his heart rate was around 153, and as I already mentioned I'm up 1.6lbs from my first visit.  Scheduled the "big" ultrasound for Nov 29th.  This is when they check him out and make sure he's got all of this parts & pieces and that everything is growing correctly.  can't wait!!
