Ok so I swore I would do these posts and pictures every two weeks.... unfortunately week 16 was completely crazy and we didn't have a chance to document it. So we'll settle for stats from week 16 and a picture for 17. There wasn't much of a change in the last week anyway so I guess that will have to do! So enjoy and hopefully we'll be back on track for week 18. Have a great weekend!

| My first go at writing on the chalkboard! I don't think I did too bad! |
 |
| 17 Weeks and all dressed up for the Women's Crisis Family Outreach Center Charity Gala! |
 |
| 17 Weeks and definitely rocking a baby bump! |
Total weight gain/loss: 0 lbs
Maternity clothes: I've gotten a few more pieces but still mostly able to wear my regular clothes. Still in search of good maternity work pants! I bought a pair from target that will have to be hemmed before i can EVER wear them! They are a good 3 inches too long...
Stretch marks: Not so far! And I'm loving my Palmer's cocoa butter! This stuff makes my skin feel AMAZING! But couldn't they make it smell better?
Sleep: Sleep is getting really bad again! Not sure what my deal is but I just don't seem to be able to sleep! I'm just not a fan.
Best moment this week: Hmm there were a couple but I would say the 2 best moments came in one day! Tuesday Adam came home from his golf trip to Vegas. I know it was only 4 days but I really did miss him; and I know the dogs did too! They were on high alert watching out for mom and Baby A while he was gone! They were ready for Dad to come home and take over! ;) Earlier on Tuesday was our 16 week doctors appointment! Not quiet as exciting as our last ones but, I got to hear our sweet babies heart beat again (150's.) Which is always such a relief, I don't think I'll ever stop being paranoid before appointments! And we also got confirmation that the many blood tests, swab tests, pee tests, torture tests, etc. have all had great results so far! So yay! That was good to hear! Now we just can't wait until next month for our BIG 20 WEEK ULTRASOUND!
Miss Anything: Besides alcohol and meds?! Caffeine, with my restless sleep I'm really starting to miss my big ol' cups of coffee! And a Grande Pumpkin Spice Latte sounds AMAZING!
Movement: Not yet! Really hoping this will be soon!
Food Cravings: Oranges and Orange Juice! Really loving these right now! Other than that I've really been craving a plain old turkey sandwich... But that's probably just because I can't have it!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope, even the little nausea I had before seems to have gone! Oh wait I take that back... this is awful considering I'm about to become a new mom but the smell of dirty diapers just about pushes me over the edge! I've come across this in a couple public places lately and I have to run in the other direction! I guess that's normal though! Who likes the smell of baby poop!? I'll have to get over that once Baby A gets here! Or maybe Adam will be changing LOTS of diapers! ;)
Have you started to show yet: Yep! Now I'm ready for it to be a full on baby bump so people can't just assume I've put on a few lbs!
Gender prediction: Still not sure.... but I've been leaning more towards boy lately. Probably just because I can't find any nursery stuff for girls that I like! Adam on the other hand seems to think we're having a girl! Just a few more weeks until we find out who's right!
Labor signs: I hate this question at this point... Nope! Still praying those are a long way away!
Belly Button in or out: In
Wedding Rings on or off: On
Happy or Moody: Still mostly happy, but need to get more sleep if I'm going to stay happy!
Looking forward to: Feeling Baby A move! Sometimes it's still hard for me to believe there is actually a baby in there! I can't wait to have the reassurance of feeling him/her move. Oh and of course less than a month until we find out if Baby A is a girl or boy!!! Cant wait! The big day for the ultrasound is Monday, November 12th! I'll be sure to get you all some "helpful" information so you can help us guess what we're having!
