I took this picture right when I got home today, so don't mind the "get-up." I put on sweats but kept my sweater on from school-hah! I think I've definitely popped.
How far along? 17 weeks and 4 days
Baby size? Baby Ernat is the size of a baked potato. And speaking of food and packing on the pounds, that's what it's all about for baby Ernat this week. He/She is adding fat stores that will keep him/her warm and cozy after he/she is born. Baby's weight will increase approximately six times over the next four weeks. Good to know I'm not the only one tipping the scale;) Baby weighs nearly 5 ounces and is a little over 5 inches long—about the size of a baked potato (load on the butter, please).
Sleep? Not that great. Still getting up a lot to pee, but it doesn't help that I drink a bottle of water before bed and keep one on my night stand;)
Best moment this week? I have started to feel Baby Ernat A LOT. The kicks seem to be getting stronger everyday. They are still real light but I can definitely feel them. LOVE it! I haven't figured out times that they come though. I know in the EARLY mornings and in the evenings. I also got to hear the heart beat today and it was 147. I love when I get to hear that. Music to my ears.
Food Cravings - No not really.
What I am looking forward to? I made my appt. for the big 20 weeker ultrasound. But, now my doctor's office does it at 22 weeks. So, my appt. for that is March 7th.....can't wait to see the little bugger on screen.
Gender? Nope
Pregnancy Symptoms? Still have the heartburn with almost anything I eat and I'm real stuffy.

So, I went for a check-up today after school and my doctor said everything looked really good. The only thing now is that I have a sore throat starting. So, she said to call if it gets any worse and I am definitely going to do that. Me and my sore throats-ickkk!
