17 weeks
Had another great weekend. :-) Tyler went to the NASCAR race with one of his friends, so I spent the morning with my mom and the evening with some of my friends. It was a busy Saturday but Sunday was so relaxing so it was the perfect balance for a weekend! It has been nice to have such relaxing weekends, because in the month of May, I have something planned for every single weekend. I love this though, especially when the plans are such fun ones! :)
Total weight gain/loss: Still gaining them pounds! It seems like the weight gain has sped up a bit lately. I get so surprised looking at the scale these days because it has been rising so much faster than I'm used to, but that's a good thing for now. :-)
Maternity clothes: I am definitely more comfortable in maternity clothes at this point. I did a little more shopping this weekend so I feel like I finally have some sort of wardrobe that works for me now.
Gender: 3 more weeks till we find out! We just scheduled the ultrasound this Friday so I am counting down the days! For fun, I'll take a gender opinion poll when the day gets closer. :-)

Size: Baby is about the size of my palm and weighs about 5 ounces. The heartbeat is now regulated by babys brain and he or she is now practicing the survival skills that it'll need at birth. Little baby is growing up so fast. lol

Movement: I have been feeling flutters! It sort of feels like popcorn popping in my belly. I know that sounds strange but its the best way to explain it. lol Its subtle and not everyday but it always makes me smile big!
Sleep: Sleeping good! The bathroom trips have finally become less frequent. Still going once a night but if I really don't feel like getting up I can hold it till morning. lol
Cravings: Still craving sweets. Yesterday, I made what some call "pregnancy cookie dough". It's basically just cookie dough without the egg and other essential baking powders. It is sooooo good!!! I recommend it to all of you! Pregnant or not haha
Here's the recipe:
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter; softened
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup milk
1 cup flour
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Symptoms: I have been getting random bouts of heartburn here and there, but that's about the only thing to add to the list of other symptoms I have been having throughout these past weeks. :)
Best moment this week: Of course, hearing baby's heartbeat again was a pretty awesome part of my week. As well as scheduling our 20 week ultrasound! I am SO excited about seeing baby again and finding out the gender. :) The last time we had an ultra sound I was only 9 weeks so baby looked like a little butter bean. Adorable, but I will be so happy to see its little face profile.
Spending time with my friends, Kristin and Heidi, this weekend was also pretty great and much needed! <3
