17 weeks and time is FLYING!!! Holy moly in 3 weeks we'll be half-way there!
Today's date: October 17, 2010
How far along: 17 weeks
Total weight gain: Now about 3 lbs. I guess it is catching up with me. :-)
Size and growth of the baby: Your baby weighs 5 ounces now, and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom.
Sex: Gender ultrasound is scheduled for November 10!
Maternity clothes: All maternity pants, but still wearing regular shirts.
Sleep: Sleeping well... but still sleeping on my back some. My Dr. said it is okay - and before it would become dangerous, your body usually wakes up due to feeling nauseous, so you turn over. I haven't felt nauseous at all, so I think I'm okay. lol. But I am still trying to get used to sleeping on my side. Thank goodness my parents got me a boppy maternity pillow for my birthday!
Best moment(s) of the week: Had an awesome time in Indy this week and mom and I walked the 5K! As it was starting, I was so sad I wasn't running, but I just didn't feel comfortable with it, after being on rest for 3 months earlier in my pregnancy. I think the baby wasn't used to so much activity and later on that day I felt it moving quite a bit!
Movement: It is still sporadic, but it is there! Sometimes it is very obvious and sometimes subtle.
Food cravings/aversions: Chocolate... hot chocolate, chocolate milk... you name it. Yum yum.
Morning sickness: Feeling really good!!!
Symptoms: Still super tired (where is that 2nd trimester energy burst??), headaches are diminishing, expanding belly. Maybe a bit more moody yesterday? :-)

Labor signs: Way too soon.
Belly button in or out: In.
What I miss: My energy!! And running. :-(
What I'm looking forward to: Looking pregnant (not chunky) and gender ultrasound on November 10 (1 month from today)!
What's going on this week:
Your baby's skeleton is changingfrom 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 onion), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.
An onion? Really? I'm sure I could come up with a more pleasant fruit or veggie. (At least they didn't say green pepper.:-)
