Our Five Ring Circus: 17 Weeks

17 Weeks

This pregnancy seems to be flying by! I was very sick with both Dylan and Lexie, but it seems like I'm even sicker this time. It doesn't feel real yet. I mean, I have all the symptoms, I've seen the baby, heard the heartbeat twice, and I can feel Nugget moving around, but I don't have a baby bump. I can see a difference, but people that don't know I'm pregnant have no clue that I even am. I can't wait until it's noticeable!

DATE: February 28, 2011

How far along: 17 weeks

Total Weight Gained: All loss so far.

How big is baby? Nugget is 5.1 inches from crown to rump and weighs 5 ounces! He/She is about the size of a turnip.

How baby is growing: Nugget's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord is growing stronger and thicker. He/She can move his/her joints, and the sweat glands are starting to develop.

Maternity Clothes: No, my regular pants are still loose.

Sleep: I can't complain! I'm sleeping well right now.

Best Pregnancy Moment of the Week: Feeling my little sweet pea move around more.

Movement: The movements are getting stronger!

Food Cravings: Nothing.

Food Aversions: Everything. Still eating to survive.

Morning Sickness: I still have hyperemesis. I'm really hoping I start to improve, at least a little bit, soon!

Gender: Unknown, and not finding out! We've had the names picked out since I was 6 weeks along.

Symptoms: Nausea morning to night, gagging, vomiting, extreme fatigue, stretching of the round ligaments (I keep pulling them!), and braxton hicks contractions.

Exercise: I'm going to start back this week, once my cold goes away. I took a break all last week to get better.

What I miss: Enjoying my meals!

What I'm looking forward to: Seeing Nugget at our big ultrasound next month!

    Yeah you really don't look pregnant at all. I am sure soon the bump will pop :) Hope you start feeling better!

    I can't believe you are already almost to the halfway point! It seems to be flying by but then again I am not the one pregnant. ;-) You are looking fantastic and I can't wait to hear the names you have picked out!
