17 Week Update

Date: December 29, 2010
How far along: 17 weeks and 3 days
Total weight gained:  4 lbs according to WiiFit Balance Board (yes, my scale is epic)
Sleep: Not going so well.  I literally have started waking up every two hours on the dot due to my bladder.  I pee...and then I'm dying of thirst.  This means I drink more water...and have to pee again.  I'm wide awake after about 6 hours of sleep/pee breaks.
Best moment of the week:  So far...finding out that I get to spend New Year's Eve with Kevin...somehow, he's managed to work the morning of the 31st and the night of the 1st!  Yay!
Movement:  Well, I'm feeling some flutters, I think.  I'm ready for some big movements though!
Food Craving: Oh man.  I have been craving steak.  Well done steak (I usually like it medium or so).  I just want to chew on it and suck all the juices out.  Haha.
Food Aversions:  The smell of most foods turn my stomach...but specifically the smell of cold pizza and cold Chinese food.
Morning Sickness:  None!
Gender:  I'll know on the 7th, hopefully...but I'm pretty sure I'm having a boy.  Just a strong feeling.
Maternity clothes:  Thank you Christmas!  I have lots of cute new "teacher clothes" that will actually fit...and I'm kinda looking forward to wearing them even after baby is born!
Symptoms:  Just a higher level of irritability.  I've been a lot moodier lately.  I think it's driving Kevin nuts!
What I miss:  Partying with friends.  Haha.  I know that sounds lame...and I wasn't even old enough to drink.  However, I still miss the freedom to drink a glass of wine over dinner or a glass of champagne for New Years.  Sigh.
What I'm looking forward to:  Feeling big movements!  Knowing the gender!
Weekly wisdom:  If you are driving on icy roads...your break is your worst enemy.
Milestones:  Baby finally started fluttering about!

Approximate size of baby: an onion!
