17 weeks

The bean took his/her first trip out of the state in utero this weekend. It wasn't specifically to celebrate being 17 weeks, but let's go with that!

In other 17 week excitement, I wore maternity clothes for the first time today and I have to say, it's awesome.

I don't know if I'll ever go back.

As I type this, I'm wearing regular jeans and a t-shirt. Oh well.

All of those elastic waistbands are just so comfortable!

My bump is still smallish, so I was lucky to have this shirt that's stretchy, but not huge -- as many of my other maternity shirts are. Thanks to my father-in-law for picking it out for me!

How far along: 17 weeks

Net weight gain/loss: up 4lbs since getting pregnant

Maternity clothes: yes! (kind of)

Stretch marks: none yet

Belly button: s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g

Sleep: much up and down at night

Baby movement: nothing yet, but I'm on the watch for it

Food cravings: french onion soup more than ever -- I make it at home now, yum.

Food aversions: any kind of chicken breast

What I miss: my balance -- I keep tipping over for no good reason!

Looking forward to: seeing the new Harry Potter movie (not baby related, but still)

Best moment this week: setting up the baby registry

Milestones: the bean can move his/her joints with control, so I can feel kicks soon!
