17 weeks

How far along: 17 weeks 4 days
Total Weight Gain: Lost 6 lbs and gained it all back. Still at pre-pregnancy weight! Not for long I'm sure.  
Stretchmarks: None yet! I will continue to slather on the lotion so that I am being pro-active!
Sleep: So much better. First trimester I would be up from 2am-4am on the nights I was home. I work nights so I am messed up on sleep as it is.
Best Moment This Week: Finding out if we are having a son or daughter!
Movement: I feel different sensations that I have never felt before and definitely think it's the baby. They feel like flutters or tickles. Can't wait to feel something stronger!
Gender: We know and will reveal soon! We are telling our families tomorrow!
Labor Signs: Too early for that!
Belly Button: Still in. I can tell it's stretching with my expanding belly. I still have my belly button ring in, much to Nick's dismay. lol. Come on, let me hold onto my youth and the one little rebellious thing I did for a little bit! It will be gone soon.
What I Miss: My flat stomach and wine! I definitely didn't miss any alcohol the first trimester, but I would love a glass of red now!
What I am Looking Forward to: Actually looking pregnant, and being able to feel the baby move. Hopefully within the next couple weeks! Telling our families the gender!
Milestones: Baby is the size of an onion. Approx. 5 inches long and 6 oz. I started exercising this week! I finally feel better and feel up to it!! It's so great to have some energy back.
