17 weeks and some change

17 weeks and 3 days over here. I have been feeling lots of movement regularly for about two weeks now. I had forgotten just how magical those little thumps are and this time around they seem perhaps even more precious since I have tangibly held a little being that did similar thumpings. This pregnancy is truly flying by and I often forget that I am even pregnant until I get a little kick or a side-mirror glance at my growing bump and I instantly smile thinking of this little gentleman that for now, is all mine. The name debate seems neverending around here and I have this feeling he will not have a name until he is here in our arms. We aren't agreeing on much and I think I am choosing names that would suit a baby boy who looks like Rivers when there is a chance (although in my heart of hearts, I feel they will look just the same) that this baby could look completely different.

Pregnancy Stats:

How Far Along: 17 weeks

Size of baby: Sweet Potato

Total Weight Gain: 7 lbs (5 of which have jumped on me within the past two weeks. Ridiculous) 

Gender: BOY (I still can't believe it!)

Movement: I always feel him when I've been moving around a lot and finally sit down. Probably about 4 times a day now and at night!

Sleep: Sleeping alright minus the potty breaks. Having a hard time falling back asleep once I get up to potty. 

Cravings: Spicy Pad Thai Pasta, Cornichons, Vinegar and Chocolate

Best Moment(s) this week: Coming home to the babysitter saying Rivers was pretending to take a phone call from "Brother".

Baby Boy is going to get his first taste of Sin City this weekend when we go to Vegas to see Garth Brooks! I'm also feeling lucky so we'll see how the Craps tables treat me! Momma needs money for maternity clothes and a new nursery!
