How far along? 17 weeks
Total weight gain/loss? 1 pound total (1 pound gain this week)
How big is baby? Size of an onion. Bones are hardening. Fat is starting to accumulate. Fingerprints are one of a kind already.
Stretch marks? No.
Sleep? Sleeping soundly. Dreaming a lot.
Fitness? Yay! I actually worked out this week. Once. But hey, I got to the gym and Beckham didn’t cry! Am definitely going more. I lifted weights, walked, and did the elliptical. My upper body wasn’t too sore, so I plan to hit that a little harder. As for my lower body…I couldn’t feel my legs.
Best moment this week? Getting to hear the heartbeat.
Miss anything? Fasting. I feel like I need a good fast to clean my system out, but obviously that’s not a good idea.
Food cravings? Soda, soda, soda. It’s disgusting. If I do have it, I limit it to one a day. Specifically, a Sonic vanilla coke/diet coke. I craved juicy hamburgers a lot this week. Really wish I would crave a salad!
Anything making you queasy or sick? No.
Current Symptoms? I’ve been getting headaches often, like I’ve mentioned before. The caffeine seems to help a little. I’ve also had to lay down and take a power nap during the day (usually evening) if Ryan happens to be home. Naps are not good for a night owl…ugh.
Belly button in or out? In. But for the record, I’m pretty sure my last pregnancy messed it up…it’s wider on my right side (like stretched out). Weird, I know.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood? Nesting. Not really sure that’s a mood, but I never really even nested with B. We had a back up room though before. Once this baby gets here, every room will be used! No room for junk!

my belly button is weird too-mine never popped out with either pregnancy, but now it is misshapen 🙂
Congrats. You've had your baby by now, but I love the detailed progress posts. Such a great way to journal your memories. I've read some week by week books and looked up blogs because I love the baby bonding/developmental information. I just started reading a book I think blows all the others away, and great for every pregnancy, not just the first. It's called “The Wonder Within You: celebrating your baby’s journey from conception to birth” by Carey Wickersham. It’s an awesome combination of week-to-week pregnancy information, what’s going on with the baby, “Did you know?” plus health advice about what to eat, cravings, nutrition, etc, BUT also with awesome 3D/4D pictures and videos you can link or QR with your phone to and see what your baby looks like at each week stage. Even better than the typical week-to-week books, and so personal! It’s got mom stories and even a journal/note section to write your personal memories and letters to your baby. The pregnancy information is as up-to-date as it gets and it’s such a great keepsake. I want to get one for everybody I know who is expecting! I highly recommend it! TheWonderWithinYou.com.
