17 weeks and counting!

Woah! Still going so fast! Not much has changed. I feel like there's not even time to notice the change even if it does happen b/c things are flying by lately! Sorry if anyone gets bored of reading my boring weekly updates but I'm doing this for ME and to look back on :)
My tummy is absolutely growing. Two people have officially commented on my preggie belly. My emotions are extremely high so I'm getting insecure about my changing body & not being attractive. I'm not complaining about it but I do feel down sometimes. I'm also being very needy w/the hubs & I realize this is all natural at this point. He understands but still doesn't really "get it." Men... Everyone wants to know what baby names we like, but I'm a little hush hush b/c I got a bad reaction about my boy name & Quite frankly, I don't care what anyone thinks! So until we 100% decide it's between me and D! I'll take a pic next week b/c then I'll be officially 4 months then.


How Far Along: 17 weeks
Total Weight Gained/Loss: dr said 1 lb last visit, I've gained 1 since, so total 2 lbs. I think I'm supposed to be gaining about 1 lb a week now?
Maternity Clothes: rubber band out, bella band in. Ordered some smaller maternity jeans b/c the ones I have are too big. Still freak out over my lack of wardrobe sometimes. I blame the hormones.
Sleep: I'm actually a little more tired lately, but it may be b/c of the time change. Also, finally used to sleeping on my side.
Best Moment of the Week: Finishing my bedroom & don't have to worry about it anymore. And MOVEMENT!
Movement: Felt a tad on Sunday and have been feeling it since! It's not confirmed b/c I haven't compared it with anyone but it's def. nothing I've felt before and it's very sporatic.
Food Craving: Fruit, and everything else in front of my face :)
Food aversions: pssh!! lol.
Morning sickness: nope all gone!
Gender: Hopefully find out on next appt!!!
Belly Button: In, but I have a feeling I'll have one that pops out.
What I miss: running. I want to run sometimes and I'm too scared to do it.
What I'm looking forward to:My best friend's wedding Saturday, visiting my sis & the baby & my appt. on the 20th!!
Milestones: Feeling "something" whether it's movement or not, it's awesome!!!

I am sure it's movement. I started to feel my baby right at 17weeks too!

Also a pregnancy pillow really helped me to start sleeping on my side!
