Baby Girl Updates

I gotta admit, pregnancy is the WEIRDEST thing I have ever experienced in my life so far! I mean, it's amazing and wonderful of course.... but it is also very, very weird. Crazy to think that there is a whole other human growing inside of me - and that my body knows how to take care of her!
 

How far along? 17 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: -10 pounds

Maternity clothes? Yep

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Sleep is rough. Always getting up to use the bathroom or tossing and turning.

Best moment this week: Finding out she is a GIRL!!!

Have you told family and friends: Yep

Movement: Some. She's especially active if I drink chocolate milk.

Food cravings: Nothing in particular. But I have a terrible aversion to meat of any kind.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Sickness is gone for the most part!

Have you started to show yet: Yes

Gender prediction: It's a girl!

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? Depends on the day. If over 90 degrees outside, off.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy

Milestones: 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.
