17 Weeks - Boy or Girl?

Alright folks, we have exactly ONE WEEK until we find out if we are having a boy or a girl! I am freaking out about this, I can't seem to figure out how I will make it through the week and wait until next Tuesday!

As for this past week, things continue to grow (pun intended!), and I'm feeling great.  I had been feeling another bout of exhaustion for a couple of weeks, but the last half of this week has been better. 

Even BIGGER news to report, I think I felt some movement this past week!  It's the strangest feeling because it's not quite the "kick" that I had imagined (at least not at this point), but it was neat!  It felt like ... as if the baby was blowing bubbles in my belly, ha!  It was a flutter, for sure!  I'm really looking forward to feeling more of those, and more pronounced, too, as the baby gets bigger.

Size this week? The baby is the size of a sweet potato, approximately 5 1/2 inches, 5 ounces.

Alright folks, the next time you hear from us, it will be to share the baby's sex!  What is your guess??? Boy or Girl???

How far along? 17 Weeks, 4 Days

Total weight gain: appox 7 pounds

Maternity clothes? a tank top, and a few belly bands.

Stretch marks? nope, thank god ...  

Sleep: my sleep is a bit off this week, again. I am sleeping better than last week, which is good. I keep getting nervous about sleeping flat on my back. I fall asleep on my side, but end up on my back!
Best moment this week: my new baby flutters!
Miss Anything? yes ... Fitting into my clothes!  and WINE ... and SUSHI. ... ok ok, wait for it .... yes, and a ham and cheese sandwich! 
Movement: I think so!!!!
Food cravings: I had a strange craving, today actually, for Ritz crackers with peanut butter on them.  I didn't indulge, but I thought about it :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope, thank god!

Have you started to show yet: I'm going to start leaning more towards 'yes' for this one. 
Gender prediction: boy, all the way! What do you think??? One week to go!

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: hmmm, no real symptoms to report this week.
Belly Button in or out? in, thank god ... eweeeee
Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!!! But getting a bit anxious as I realize we have to start doing some planning things soon, aka: baby room, registry, etc! My plan is to start this once we know the gender.  Next week things are going to start getting busy!
Looking forward to: finding out if we are having a boy or a girl!!! what do you think?
