17 WEEK BUMPDATE

How far along: 17 weeks!
Total weight gain:  7.2
Maternity clothes:  just the belly band and dresses, but the belly band is beginning to suck!
Best moment of the week:   getting a call from the perinatologist (high risk doc) saying they need to move my ultrasound 5 days sooner!! We get to find the sex out in 2 weeks!
Food cravings: fruit loops
Food aversions: nothing really. 
Symptoms:  

boobs sore- still there, less prevelant though

cramps- not much this week, week 16 was a lot of cramps for 2 days

tiredness- getting tired a lot more.. I don't like that

irritability- back to normal. :)

acne- pre pregnancy I think

bloat- I am going to say its all baby now. :) 

 burning muscle pain in upper abdomen- all gone!

Movement: Still not sure if that is what I felt. Hopefully sometime soon!

Gender: We find out in 2 weeks!  

What I’m looking forward to: feeling kicks! Seeing my baby on the ultrasound! Finding out if its a boy or girl!

 What I miss:  I guess I am missing my energy, but I think its more allergies than pregnancy. But I love my growing belly!
Next appt: August 17th! Baby ultrasound and also a doctor appointment immediately after that! :)
How big is baby: 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 (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop (taken from www.babycenter.com)
