17 weeks (Baby #3)

How far along?: 17 weeks, 2 days

How big is baby?: Approximately the size of an onion, around 5.1 inches in length & weighing about 5.9 oz. 

Total weight gain/loss: 0 pounds as of this AM.

Maternity clothes?: Shorts, tanks & shirts (just for length), but all of my regular jeans & pants still fit just fine although they are starting to feel a tad tighter in the belly come evening. Haha!

Symptoms: Loss of appetite, lots of fatigue & increasing back pain. I have started to get tiny bouts of heartburn here & there so we'll see how that goes. I ended up having to take prescription medication with both boys before the end of my pregnancy.

Stretch marks?: Still just the ones from H thus far.

Sleep: Soooooo tired still, but happy to be home in my own bed. I have been waking up to use the bathroom the past couple nights & the strange dreams are not helping either.

Movement: Bah. =( I'm convinced I have an anterior placenta, AGAIN. ---YEP. I've got nothing going on STILL.

Food cravings: I don't have as many aversions, but still lack of appetite. My stomach fills quickly with small amounts of food & nothing sounds particularly great still.

Gender: Soo....I have a secret, we do know what we're having. I had an elective US last Tuesday at 16 weeks, 3 days. It was honestly the best decision I ever made since my Anatomy scan is not scheduled until September 16. We have a big reveal planned for very soon, but for now only a handful of people know. It was fun to get to surprise K with this one since no one knew about the US but me. =)

Labor Signs: Nothing yet, clearly.

Belly Button in or out?: In & I'll be surprised if it doesn't stay that way. I have yet to ever "pop" with any pregnancy.

What I miss: Not a lot at this point other then just having energy & motivation. Come on second tri energy burst!! =/ Although, I feel like this may be a myth in all honesty.

What I am looking forward to: Feeling this little one move! Come on, baby, throw your momma a bone here already. =(
