How Far Along: 17 weeks!
Size of Baby: He/she is the size of an onion! (About 5 inches from head to bottom).
Picture of Baby: I will have some in a few short days to share with ya'll. :)
17 Weeks: Baby Johnson's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — his/her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. He/She can move his/her joints, and his/her sweat glands are starting to develop. (Information from BabyCenter's website).
Maternity Clothes: Completely all that I wear!
Weight Gain: Didn't weigh myself this week, but I'm sure I'm up.
Belly Pic: None this week. Sorry!
Stretch Marks: None from this pregnancy...yet!
Sleep: Lousy! I just can't sleep good at all! I don't know what my deal is. I just toss and turn from side to side. I hug Aaron, I hug my pillow, I sleep on my back, I lean on Aaron, I throw the covers off, I snuggle them up tight, I pee. And then I do that all again a dozen more times. It's going to be a long five months of sleeping if I'm already having a hard time getting comfortable.
Best Moment of the Week: Talking baby names with my parents. That was a lot of fun!
Movement: Baby moved A LOT this week!!! Constant flutters that are starting to feel more solid. When he/she moves, I put my hand on my stomach and I can feel the movement from the outside. So exciting!
Symptoms: Throwing up, still. I don't necessarily feel nauseous, I just all of a sudden need to hurl! And now, embarrassing enough, I "dink" every time I throw up. And, by "dink," I mean I pee in my pants. With the baby getting bigger and pressing on my bladder now, every time I throw up, I pee, too! One time, in fact, I threw up at work and Aaron had to bring me a change of clothes. How embarrassing! :( Other than that, I've been feel round ligament pain, especially when the three of us go on our evening walks.
Food Cravings: Waffles! (I craved these when pregnant with Ella, too). We got some Kirkland ones from Costco. Yum!
Gender: We'll have a definitive answer on July 5th! Eeeeek!!!
What I Miss: Sleeping well, and by that, I mean sleeping on my tummy.
What I'm Looking Forward to: Finding out the baby's gender (for sure)! July 5th can't get here soon enough!
Weekly Wisdom: I got nothing this week!
Milestones: Nothing extraordinary this week. Just getting through yet another week, which means I'm one more week closer to meeting this little bean!
Emotions: Just happy. Still hard to completely wrap my mind around that I'm pregnant. It still feels so surreal to me!

Cant believe we are already 17 weeks! Always thinking of you!
Oh, I want to feel the movement too! Sleeping... I couldn't have said it better! Sometimes I give up and move to the couch to at least give DH a break from all that tossing and turning. Good news? Well, it's all good but still... We're closer to being half-way, woo hoo!
