17 week update

My feelings about this week's photo shoot can best be summed up by this photo:

Um yeah.  I'm not really into it today.  I've been feeling super blimpy and sweaty and all-around gross for the past couple of days and that makes me cranky.

So Sprout is the size of an onion and weighs about 6 ounces.  His/her little bones are forming and he/she reacts to loud noises, though I still haven't felt any movement just yet.

We just started thinking this week about how to decorate Bean Sprout's room.  It makes me feel productive since we are at a stalemate on names.  Scott feels indifferent about my favorite name for a boy and I think his favorite name for a boy will too easily become a nickname I think is gross.  So, the search continues.  At least we like our girl name.  I bought the first round of swatches for a quilt for Sprout this week too and I'll post some photos as soon as I start sewing.  I want the design to be the same as the one I made for Gino, just a different theme.  I think it's going to be really cute.

So, here's me sucking it up for the camera and pretending I love being pregnant even though it's a giant pain in the ass this week:

How far along?  17 weeks
Total weight gain?  I still don't have a scale, but if it was 4 pounds two weeks ago, I guess I am on track for the 5-10 I'm supposed to have gained by now.
Maternity clothes? I love my new Gap yoga pants, they are super comfy.  I'm mostly in old dresses though
Stretch marks?  Nope, but I'm on the lookout and constantly lotioning.
Sleep?  Pretty good!
Best moment of the week?  Having my cleaning lady come!  Haha, sometimes it's the little things, people.
Miss anything?  Grrr, let's not enumerate this week.  I just really hope Bean Sprout is like the most awesome kid ever so this feels worth it, you know?
Movement?  No, but I'm telling myself not to be worried about that.
Food craving?  Nothing specific.
Anything make you sick or queasy?  I think I'm finally over the toothpaste hurdle
Gender?  I've heard 3 people guess girl, the rest have said boy
Labor signs? No
Symptoms?  I'm a crankypants for sure.  The sun really wears me out quickly too and headaches are still a problem.
Belly button in or out? Still in for now.
Wedding rings on or off?  On
Happy or moody most of the time?  I suppose we'll say moody for this week.
Looking forward to?  Getting started on Sprout's quilt

Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!  Remember to thank the soldiers/veterans in your life and their families for all the sacrifices they make for the rest of us every day.
