Baby’s skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.
So sue me…they’re not all fruit. Majority rules, though.
If you look carefully, you’ll see Boo-boo the cat with the hubs. Boo was really excited to watch The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brian.
How far along? 17
weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I think we’re about +2 or 3 now.
Maternity clothes? Gots myself some shorts this weekend. Sweet sweet release.
Stretch marks? The ones I had pre-pregnancy on my thighs are definitely getting darker. Flop.
Sleep: Sometimes good, sometimes horrid.
Best moment this week: More movement!
Movement: Uh, see above.
Food cravings: Today, it was a hot fudge malt with a sausage biscuit…at the same time.
Gender: Still thinking girl.
Labor Signs: Nooo.
Belly Button in or out? Still innie. Still wider.
What I miss: Beer.
What I am looking forward to: The next u/s!
Weekly Wisdom: Paying $60 for shorts is only okay when you DESPERATELY CANNOT FIND SHORTS.
Milestones: Yay for more movement!
This weekend was long, and sad. We attended the memorial service for our friend on Sunday, and I’m happy and sad to have it over. We also did some more yardwork, and replaced a little carpeting in our basement (ahhh, cat pee…you bastard, bastard kitties).
Other than that, not much news to report on the baby front. Still a little movement, still feeling okay. Bought some maternity shorts yesterday, which was an excellent move. It felt SO GOOD to have shorts on yesterday.
