17 Weeks

This has been an exhausting weekend! We moved out of the tiny duplex that we were in, and into a cute little house complete with wood floors, a fireplace, TWO BATHROOMS (which I will never take for granted again) and a little backyard. Not to mention there is a community pool in the neighborhood :-) I see many summer evenings floating on a raft in my future. Thank you so much to all of the family and friends that helped us this weekend - we wouldn't have been able to do it without you! Especially poor Brandon who picked up a lot of my slack since I wasn't much help in the heavy lifting department. My mom helped me pack up our whole kitchen, and my mother-in-law helped me unpack the whole kitchen :-) In the midst of our move, I've also had to stress about completing my final project for my summer class. It's due tomorrow! But then I have a whole two weeks to lay by the pool every day after work before my very.last.semester starts.

How Far Along: 17 weeks
Size of the Baby: Bell Pepper. Peanut is also yawning which I thought was really sweet :-)
Maternity Clothes: Not yet, I've been getting by with dresses and my bella band :-)
Stretch marks: Not yet!
Weight gain/loss: +2? 
Sleep: I would sleep all day if I could - but it's not quite as comfortable as it used to be. I miss sleeping on my stomach.
Best Moment of the Week: We are FINALLY moved in to our new place! It was the longest weekend, and every part of my body is sore - but I'm looking forward to organizing and decorating our new house :-)
Movement: Nothing certain yet! There have been a few flutters that may or may not have been the peanut.

Symptoms: My sloth-like behavior continues - I still cannot manage to get off the couch after work. Growing a human being is hard work!
Food Cravings: Food in general - holy hunger!
Gender: :-) We found out a couple of weeks ago, but we'll have it confirmed next Friday!

Belly Button in or out: In...although it is starting to look a little different - a bit more shallow.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Knock on wood - no! 
Labor Signs: nope
Wedding ring on or off: On
What I miss: Still miss having as much caffeine as I want.
What I am looking forward to: turning in my last project for my summer class tomorrow!!  
Nursery: Our "nursery" is currently filled with boxes of all of our stuff! I'm sure it will be awhile before it starts looking at all nursery-ish.
Emotions: I have to admit that I started sobbing last week when Brandon got home from work and wanted to pack up the truck with boxes before eating dinner. I tried to tell him I was too hungry, and when he insisted we could do it quickly, I burst into tears. He decided it was best to eat first.
Stupid things I have done: Please see above.
