The Baby Cake: Week 17 (Christmas Eve Addition)

 where did that bump come from?
Pregnancy Stats:

How far along: 17 weeks

Size of the baby: an onion or a grapefruit

Total Weight Gain: +12 lbs. dang it! this is way harder than i thought it would be.

Gender: well. we went to the doctor on tuesday and the doctor said "i am thinking a girl!" but, the baby was being very modest laying on his/her side hiding all the goods, so he would not confirm the sex. BOO! project "find out baby gender" take 2 on january 18th.

Movement: i think i did, i think i did! i was laying in bed on my side and felt waves move from one side to the other. little ripples almost. what a tease, i haven't felt the babe since.

Sleep: it's just not the same. i'm just not the sleeper i used to be.

What i miss: SUSHI!!! i think this will remain the same.

Cravings: seriously sushi. salad & hash browns.

Symptoms: moody & emotional.  just being honest. and some nausea. cold sores! twice now. upper back pain from my ever growing front side. and the upper back pain isn't from my belly growth.

Maternity Clothes: this belly has expanded a lot in the last week, so i have a feeling those maternity jeans will soon be a full time thing.

Megan's Best Moment this Week: finally caving and buying this adorable little sweater for baby D...what can i say, the baby made me do it!  
Jason's Best Moment this Week: finding out that he has a modest daughter (see gender). He's sold that it's a modest baby girl!
 we hope you ALL are enjoying the holiday season! MERRY, MERRY Christmas!

Megan's Best Moment this Week: technically last week...visiting the doctors & seeing our little baby, that actually looks like a baby now, wiggling and moving around and around and sucking it's thumb!
Jason's Best Moment this Week: this photo
no my BUMP is not anywhere near this large. after dinner i was so full.
i said to jason "wait until my belly looks like this!" and he busted up laughing and had to get a picture!
