17 Weeks - Our Little Sweet Potato

How far along? 17, almost 18 weeks.
Symptoms? Headaches (which, just to clarify, I take one regular strength Tylenol for ... and only if they headache is unbearable), increasingly painful heartburn after certain foods, and oh yeah - a bigger belly! :)
Total weight gain/loss: Up 4 lbs. total ... 137.
Maternity clothes? Nope, although the best part of the day is when I take off my jeans/pants and change into yoga pants. Heaven.
Food cravings: Apple cider and cinnamon donuts (must be Fall!), kettle corn, wheat toast with peanut butter, oranges, Granny Smith apples, Oreos dunked in milk, salad with Italian dressing
Anything making you queasy or sick: Slowly I find myself getting over my cheese aversion, which is good ... still not a fan of fish, though. The only fish I crave is spicy tuna rolls, and I'm not allowed to have those. Chicken breast has been weird for me lately, too - whether or not I'll eat it depends on the day.
Stretch marks? Nope, but I'm scared they're going to show up!
Sleep: Sleeping great!
Best moment this week: Realizing how much my little baby bump is turning into a round baby belly - I am starting to really look pregnant, which is awesome :)
Have you told family and friends: Yep, just anxiously waiting for Wednesday so we can find out if we're having a little "Jack-o-lantern" or a little "ghoul" :)
Miss Anything? Beer, margaritas (going out drinking in general, really), sushi, and sammiches. I've been seriously careful about lunch meat because of all that listeria stuff, but I gave in and ordered Jimmy John's this week ... now I want them all the time!
Movement: Flutters and little kicks/rolls, especially when I'm lying down.
Have you started to show yet: Yep - check out that growin' bump!


Gender prediction: I still say boy, Steve - and most other people - say girl. We'll find out Wednesday!
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? Innie
Wedding rings on or off? Both rings are comfortably on.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy happy!
Baby Stuff Purchased? None this week
Looking forward to: Our OB appointment on Halloween - look for the gender announcement this coming week! :) :)
