17 Weeks Belly Business

One of my friends did updates like this for her pregnancy and I thought it was a fun idea!

How far along: 17 weeks

Size of the baby: Turnip (5 ounces and 5 inches long)

Maternity Clothes: I would have to say that I have a love/hate relationship with maternity clothes at this point. On one hand, they are so comfortable and they have a better selection of cute tops and dresses than I expected. On the other, I am still holding my pants together with a hairband and bella band, but hey, it's working and keeping me sane until I have to be in maternity clothes 24/7. I am embracing my new curves but cant wait to get back in shape!

Cravings: Jalapenos, milk and if someone mentions a food item, doesnt matter what it is, I instantly have to have it.

Symptoms: A little headache here and there but overall, I feel pretty awesome.

Movement: Nothing yet, that I can tell

Gender predictions: We went to the doctor at 13 weeks to test for Nuchal Translucency and the doctor was able to tell us at 95% certainty that IT'S A BOY! We are so thrilled and Austin is over the moon about having a little buddy to take hunting and fishing...you know, all the guy stuff, especially someone to ride along in the golf cart.

We are looking forward to our 20 week appointment next month to see the baby again. We start all of our birthing classes next month, which will definitely make this more of a reality for both of us. Sometimes Austin forgets that I am pregnant and I am just thinking...Are you serious? You cant see this baby bump???

Bump pictures coming soon!
