17 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 17 weeks!
Total weight gain: Doctors office says 4 lbs total so far.
Maternity clothes? I purchased a pair of really comfortable maternity skinny jeans with the high bump band, and boy are they comfy! I wish I could wear them every single day. They work great with boots (which are my go to) and flats too. I haven't attempted heels yet so we'll see. Other than that I am still able to fit into all my regular clothes. I did order some stuff from Old Navy, so excited for those to arrive!
Stretch marks? None yet.
Best moment this week: We had a big week. Unfortunately, my grandfather on my mom's side passed away on Monday morning. We knew it was coming but it was still very hard to deal with. My mom is doing okay though and same with my family. It's just so hard to see people you love upset. Also on Monday we found on Vince's permanent work schedule, which we are very excited about! It's a huge relief to know what he will be working and where. On Wednesday we had a  brief appointment with my OB and got to hear baby's heartbeat. Still in the 150s which is great! She said that everything sounded great. THEN on Thursday we drove down south for an elective gender ultrasound! It was so exciting! We told the tech that we didn't want to actually see the parts, since we are having our gender reveal party on Sunday, but it was so great to see our little one moving around. The baby is face my spine right now so it was hard to get a good profile shot because he/she was nestled into my uterus wall. But we were able to get some great photos! It was so exciting to see baby looking like a little human! It definitely made it so much more real for both of us. The tech printed out the gender pictures and put them into an envelope and I immediately drove and gave them to my girlfriend Nicole who is setting up the reveal for us. There was no way I could hold on to them for very long!
Miss anything?  I miss sleeping through the night without having to get up to pee every few hours. Geeez!
Movement: I THINK I have felt something a few times but it is still hard to tell. They say that it feels like bubbles popping or something but how the heck am I suppose to decipher if its gas or the baby? So confusing! However, after seeing where baby is positioned on the ultrasound I am about 70% sure that I felt a little tiny kick yesterday. It was faint, and I didn't feel gassy at all or like it was bubbles popping... it just felt like a little tap on my stomach. It does line up with where the feet were on the US yesterday so I am hoping that's what I felt! 
Food cravings: I had a huge craving for Cheerios & sliced banana cereal. So random!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!
Gender: After the US and seeing baby's little face, I am still thinking boy! However, we would be so delighted either way! We have decided on names for either way and I am just so excited to know!!
Labor signs: Nope
Symptoms: Heartburn is still really fun... (not!). Other than that, no major symptoms. 
Belly button in or out? Outie!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy! I haven't felt very moody or emotional, which is funny because I usually cry at the drop of a hat. But I've been pretty happy and excited lately. Definitely anxious this week because I just want to know so badly what we are having! 
Looking forward to: Finding out what we are having on Sunday! I am so excited because it is going to be a complete surprise. I am usually horrible with surprises and somehow find them out but this time I have no idea of anything. Nicole will barely talk to me because she doesn't want to spill the beans! Ha! Good thing though, I'm a little sneaky when it comes to surprises like this!
