Week 17
Finally, your baby's arms, legs, and trunk have caught up to the size of his head. Baby starts plumping up this week, as body fat is deposited under his skin and sweat glands develop. Also worth noting: The placenta is almost as big as your baby. It provides vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, and oxygen, along with removing waste and filtering carbon dioxide.

Ok, I'll be the first to admit I'm not the best at this blogging thing, but I promise I'll do my best from here on out to keep up with the weekly updates.
How far along? let's just pretend I'm still 17 weeks lol
Total weight gain/loss: up from 102 lbs to 110 lbs
Food cravings: Cinnamon rolls! They have cinnabon cinnamon rolls at Burger King and I had to have them last week! Sooo yummy
Maternity clothes? I've been wearing leggings a lot, I've got like 5 pairs, and I use my belly band over my unbuttoned jeans :)
Stretch Marks? None, knock on wood
Sleep: I'm still sleeping really well, so well that I haven't even had to get up to go to the bathroom.
Miss anything? Being able to stay awake past 8 p.m. I had to force myself not to fall asleep on the couch while watching the season finale of Sons of Anarchy the other night.
Movement: Feeling sluggish waves of movement like he's doing little somersaults in there, and little kicks.
Anything making you sick or queasy? Nope
Have you started to show? With strangers asking me when my due date is, I'm going to say yes!
Gender: Baby Holt is a Boy!
Belly Button in or out? In, but it's starting to flatten out.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!
Best moment this week: Decorating the house for Christmas, I love Christmas decorations!!
Baby Buys: I'm hesitant to buy things for the baby, I think I'm waiting until after the baby shower(s) unless I find something that I just can't live without!
Looking forward to: Next appointment is coming up, I can't wait to see our little guy and how much bigger he is!
I promise to post Week 18 update before Friday(19 weeks)!
