17 weeks

Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.

How far along? 17 weeks.

Due Date: August 13, 2010

Total weight gain/loss: -3. That's up one from last week. Baby's growing!! I'm sure I'll see more weight gain in the coming weeks.
Maternity clothes? Yes. I think I have two work shirts that still fit but all my other clothes are maternity. (Comfy, at-home clothes don't count!) :)
Sleep: Slept good last night... Trying new ways to sleep on my side + weird pregnancy dreams = not the most restful sleep ever.

Best moment this week: Getting a burst of (what I'll call) nesting-energy last Saturday... my brother came over and helped - we took apart and moved the guest bed that was in the nursery, put the shower doors downstairs (that were sitting in the nursery) and moved my little arm chair into the nursery. :) Things are getting ready! My house is in for it! Two of my friends have commented that I'm in a constant state of nesting! :)
Movement: Yes and it is so cool.
Food cravings: Irish breakfast!!!! I reeeaaally want fried tomatoes, eggs, toast and tea!
Food aversions: Things that are creamy and warm or smell gross (to me)
Gender: Unknown. - We will find out April 7th!
Labor Signs: None and thank goodness.
Belly Button in or out? In... no change.
What I miss: Subway!!!
What I am looking forward to: Looking at bedding options. :)
Milestones: I'm not allowed to lay flat on my back anymore because baby weighs enough to cut off blood flow to both of us!

Other: I'm losing my mind... pregnancy brain is a truth for me. I really hope I have a smart baby!! (At least that way I'll know where my brain power went!)
