Haven't done this in a while...

How far along? 17 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: +6...I attribute this mostly to the insane amount of peanut brittle eaten since Christmas. Little Peanut only weighs 6 ounces...

Maternity clothes?: Yes, elastic waist pants are glorious.

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: Ugh. Sleep, you went from friend to foe. Wednesday night was particularly bad as I felt crampy all night. I think it was because I ate an insane amount of food for dinner and the baby is going through a growth spurt, so there just isn't enough room in there.

Best moment this week: Feeling flutters

Movement: See above.

Food cravings: Just the usual, tacos and refried beans

Gender: At the moment, I'm thinking girl.

Labor Signs: No-Thank God.

Belly Button in or out? Innie.

What I miss: Sleeping on my tummy

What I am looking forward to: The flutters are great, but I'm looking forward to the definitive kicks.

Weekly Wisdom: Don't bother with the non-alcoholic wine. Grapefruit juice with Pellegrino is delish.

Milestones: Movement!

"Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints."
