Ringing In the New Year = 17 Weeks

 

Can it already be 2012? 2011 flew by so fast! I trust everyone had a wonderful time ringing in the New Year. This year one of my bestest friends decided to get married on New Year's Eve so we had a grand time partying it up. Well I did as best I could with my half a can of Diet Coke. Hollur.

How far along? 17 weeks
Weight gain? Ugh. 6 pounds. Ugh.
Baby fruit size? Onion - 5.1 inches 
Maternity clothes? Same from last week. But I now own a Bridesmaid dress from the above wedding that the seamstress made to accommodate my growing waist line. ;)
Sleep? I've been trying to sleep earlier than I am used to so that I can get more than 7 hours at night. It's helped me to not feel so sleeping throughout the day. The bed is still delicious... so delicious Sonny and I are planning on buying another one to sleep on at my Mom's house.
Movement? I am ruling out gas for reals now. I can definitely tell the difference. During the NYE count down there was so much noise and dancing on my part that the baby just had to move along. I think we have a little break dancer in there. Baby loves the beats.
Food cravings? Sriracha, Tabasco and Cholula goes on everything. I eat a lot of fruits. I like fruits more than I like peanut better these days.
Exercise: Lots of walking this week around the neighborhood.
Best moment this week? We had our monthly appointment this week but was so bummed that we didn't get to see if we were having a boy or girl. But we did get to hear our baby's beautiful heart beat.
What I'm looking forward to? Our next doctor's appt. Seriously... this time we are gonna find out!
