17 Weeks
How far
along? 17 Weeks.
Total weight gain/loss: 121-123 is where I'm supposed to be at.. I'm at 126.. :] lol
Maternity clothes? Definitely getting too big for my size 3 maternity pants. They're just getting tight.. everywhere. Bought a bunch of new maxi dresses and summer dresses though!
Stretch Marks? More on my boobs. Woo hoo -__-
Sleep: Bad. Falling asleep is the worst, I wake up frequently, then can't get comfortable nor go back to sleep. And our bed is a queen- too small for Chris, me, and my body pillow :(
Best moment this week: Easter! I got a freakin awesome tan! (it's true that pregnant skin tans faster!!) We had a blast out at Chris' grandma's.. But I feel guilty about riding 4wheelers and not drinking as much water as I usually do. i also have been forgetting to take my prenatals so I'm freaking out.
Miss Anything? Umm, not being fat.. Just a few minutes ago I dropped my phone behind the bed.. I can't fit under the bed anymore and I was seriously so upset about it that to keep from crying I had to laugh it off. :(
Movement: You can feel his kicks on the outside now when I'm lying on my back. It's so crazy but I love it!!!
Food cravings: Beef stew, pickle juice, green apples, carrots, fruit punch gatorade, milk (odd because I'm lactose intolerant and absolutely hate dairy products) and water water water!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Solid cheese. If it's melted I'll live but if it's solid I just can't do it.
Have you started to show yet: My belly definitely popped out this week. You can finally tell I'm pregnant, yipppe! :]
Gender: BOY!
Labor Signs: Nope.
Belly Button in or out? Seriously coming out more and more each day. It's gross lol.
Engagement rings on or off? Onnnn.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! :]
Looking forward to: Liam's anatomy scan on April 27th, hopefully everything is growing the right way! Fingers crossed! and a doctor appoinment they managed to add in back to back!
Symptoms: I get cold, then hot, then cold, then hot. It's very annoying.

Busy Busy Busy..
Okay first off, we decided not to go with the guitars bedding. We want to do basically every shade of blue possible and brown in his room. So it's simple but also colorful and not girly the least bit.
Secondly, I'm 18 weeks and 2 days, which means I only have 22 more weeks to go. It has seriously gone by so fast, but when I look back at when we first found out I was pregnant it seems like it's been forever since then. He looks like this:
He has started kicking like crazy. I love it so so much. It's pretty much all I look forward to all day long.
Last but not least, I have to create another post of my 17 week update. In a few days I'll be posting bunches of pregnancy pictures we took this weekend on Easter! I can't wait to photoshop them. I will also be posting my 18 week update this week. Busy, busy.
Tonight I plan on making beef stew. I've been craving it for the past few weeks and I think it's time to give in! ;] It won't be ready until tomorrow though so for dinner tonight I'm going to make Baked Potatos, Grilled Shrimp, and Lemon Pepper Chicken :] My fiance likes to grill so I'm hoping he won't mind doing the grilling lol. I have to go grocery shopping when he gets home.
ALSO!! We finally found a townhouse that we like and it's not extremely pricey! It's two story and the 3 bedroom is only $25 more a month than the 2 bedroom so we're going with the 3 bedroom. I'm so excited I could die.. Not really but I'm pretty excited :]

BINGO!
Found my fabric!
We're going with 1, 2, (maybe 3), 6, 7, (maybe 11), and 13!
I'm so excited! We're going to get my sewing machine today then I'm going to try to order all these fabrics from etsy.com
Boy Clothes..
Why is it that all baby boy clothes are themed?
Animals, super heroes, tractors, cars, trains, etc.
I hate it. I HATE themes. All girl clothes don't have dolls, tea cups, and cellphones on them so what the hell? I wish someone would just come out with a cute, affordable, modern baby boy clothing line!
Maybe I'll have to be that someone....
I'm getting a sewing machine this week so I can make sweet boy's baby bedding :) I'm not sure if I want to stick with the nature theme because it's all creams and browns. (which I love don't get me wrong) But apparently babies need lots of colors to help develop eye sight. They can only see 8-12 inches in front of their face until about 3 months old. So I'm thinking of doing teal, green, gray, white, & black
I found this in Canton:
Absolutely fell in love.
BUT guess what?! It's 600 buckaroos! HA! So I'm going to attempt to make it. It actually looked very simple, nothing I haven't seen before so I think I can do it. I'm just ready to get it done :]
