17 Weeks!

Last week was a super busy week, so I didn't have time to update. However, I'm thinking of maybe updating every other week. 23 more blog updates in this pregnancy seem like a lot. We'll see!
Size of Baby: Our baby is now 5.1 inches and almost 6 ounces (about the size of an onion!).
Symptoms: I'm starting to feel my belly "stretching". I've been told by a few people that I seemed to "pop" this week. Besides just feeling bigger, I haven't noticed any new symptoms.
Maternity clothes: I'm pretty much only in maternity jeans, now. I'm still not in "official" maternity shirts, only stretchy ones. I've gone up a size or two in hoodies, too.
Cravings: Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! I could eat one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! I, also, started to eat cottage cheese for the first time this pregnancy. I've, also, unfortunately been craving salty things. I have to be careful of that!
Aversions: I feel like, at this point, things are not as nauseating as before. However, blueberries still sound gross.
Movement: This is a busy little one! I usually feel him/her (I hate it when people say "it") at night. It's usually around 8:30 (will we have a night owl??) and as I'm trying to fall asleep. I still can't feel our baby moving from the outside, but I can definitely feel movement on the inside!
Gender: Wow, at this point, I have NO IDEA! One day, I'll feel like this one is a girl (just a feeling and B and T still say girl). Plus, he/she's heartbeat has been higher. Other days I feel like this one is a boy. I feel like I'm carrying more in front, as opposed to side to side (like T). Also, I've been craving more salty foods... rather than sweet (different than T). Come November 7, we will hopefully find out for sure! No more guessing. :)
