Pregnancy Tracker: Week 17

Happy (late) Thanksgiving!!

It was a wonderful week for many reasons! First off, Aaron had a short week at work and only went in on Monday and Tuesday. Then we jumped into the car right after he got home Tuesday night to drive to Houston. Actually, that drive went pretty horrible unexpectedly. We were about 30 minutes into the drive when poor Raylee threw up all over herself, her car seat, and the backseat! It took us awhile to get her and the car cleaned up but we decided to continue on the drive. I sat with her in the back the rest of the way so I could (hopefully) catch it if she got sick again. My prayers were answered and we got to Houston without any more delays.

Once we arrived in Houston things got a lot better! It was so good to spend time with Aaron's brother and his wife, David and Jessica! We also got to spend time with Jessica's family and that is always a treat :) The rest of the week was filled with happy times and AMAZING food, which is all I could wish for during Thanksgiving break!

So this photo was technically taken at 18 weeks, but since it was early in the week I thought I would let it slide as 17 weeks. Oh yeah, and I cut my hair again! Shorter!


How far along: 17 weeks
Baby is the size of a: Pomegranate 
Favorite moment this week: Being with family and eating lots and lots of food! Jessica is 37 weeks pregnant with her first so it was really exciting to see them getting ready to meet their baby girl soon! 
Miss anything: Nope!
Movement: Yes, I got a pretty big kick after my Thanksgiving meal. I think baby boy was thanking me! How thoughtful :)
Food cravings: Same old. Apples, potato chips, anything I don't have to make myself...
Total weight gain: 3 lbs
Sleep:I think it's safe to say I need a good 10 hours a night to function properly, and sometimes I still pass out for a nap when I least expect it.
Stretch marks: No
Happy or moody: Happy!!
Looking forward to: All I can think about right now is bedtime...and Christmas.
