17 Weeks

Note: I swear there will be knitting content on this blog again. I've actually been cranking out the FO's like crazy, I just haven't gotten around to photographing and such. Very soon, I hope.

How far along? 17 Weeks (I'm actually 18w2d today, but we'll count this as last week)

Total Weight Gain: 3 lb (+8) since pre-pregnancy (oops! I blame the Holidays. Or the French Fries from my favorite lunch joint that I just cannot get enough of!)

Maternity Clothes? Yes and no. I wear the Maternity jeans when I am going to be moving around a lot, otherwise my normal pants work with the band. Still a mix of flowy pre-preg tops and maternity tops.

Stretch Marks? Nope. But my skin is starting to itch so I've upped the body butter application to 3 times a day.

Sleep? Sleeping great, actually. However, I'd really, REALLY like an extra 3 hours every morning.

Best Moment This Week: Feeling the Bean's consistent movement everyday!

Movement: See previous. Matt has finally gotten a chance to feel it too. It was so strong it actually woke me up last night.

Food Cravings: Pickled Radishes (if you have a lead on where I can buy these in bulk, I will be forever indebted to you!). French Fries. Frozen Yogurt.

Gender: Not sure anymore. Gender ultrasound tomorrow!

Labor Signs: Nope

Belly Button - In or Out? In

What I miss: Raw sushi. I would give anything for a slab of ahi right now. And wine. Not alcohol, but the taste of real wine, not the alcohol-free stuff. I don't forsee either of these changing in the next 5 months, but I've had a couple sips of wine to feed the craving.

What I am looking forward to: Finding out gender

Weekly Wisdom: Baby's R Us still scares the crap out of me.

Milestones: Mastered sleeping with the body pillow.
