Belly Update

How far along? 17 weeks, 2 days
Total weight gain/ loss: At my last appointment, I was up 5.5 lbs. I have a suspicion that I'm up at least a few more pounds since then though.
Maternity clothes: Pretty much exclusively. I do have a few pairs of old pants I can fit into- pants that were extremely low-rise to begin with.
Stretch marks? Nah.
Sleep? Pretty much the same. Bathroom trips are a regular part of my night. We invested in a Sleep Number bed today which I am absolutely thrilled about!!
Best moment this week: Having my 4-year-old nephew ask me if my baby is out of my belly yet, then having him come over & rub my belly. So cute.
Food cravings: See last post. They're not cravings so much as things I can just tolerate. I am pretty obsessed with root beer & chocolate milk though.
Gender: No clue. I've said "him" a few times when referring to Baby this week...not that I think that really means anything.
Labor Signs: Uh, no.
Belly button in or out: Innie!
What I miss: The day I give birth, I would like to have a cold sub & a large sweet tea.
What I am looking forward to: June 29th can not get here soon enough (the big u/s)!
Milestones: I should feel movement soon...I have felt some "flutters" here & there so far. Not sure if that counts as movement though.

YEY for belly shot. You look so happy and are absolutely glowing!! That was so sweet about your nephew, I know that must have been a great moment. Here's to more milestones in the next few weeks!!

I like your best moment. :) He really is excited about your baby. Out of nowhere, he'll often ask me, "Is Terri's baby here yet?"
I wonder if the name "Baby Hokie" will stick after we find out girl or boy on the 29th? Guess it could...I think Hokie is one of those gender neutral names. Maybe you'll start a trend, and it can become the new Casey, Peyton, or Jordan. :)
