How far along? 17 weeks 43% complete!

Which trimester are you in? 2nd trimester :)

How many days until your due date? 161 days!

How big is baby? Size of a turnip!

What milestones has your baby reached this week? Baby is developing sweat glands, lol.

What are some of your pregnancy symptoms? Tailbone pain is still bothering me! :(

Any cravings? Ice cream... lol.

Any food aversions? Nope. But the smell of the turkey on Thanksgiving made me gag a little, but I was able to eat it no problems, lol.

What emotions have you experienced this week? A bit of everything, lately.

Are you wearing maternity clothes yet? Still able to wear my regular jeans with a belly band (but not for much longer!) and a few maternity shirts every now and then.

Have any stretch marks? Nothing new.

How much weight have you gained? I weighed myself 2 days ago and was sill 130! Hopefully when I weigh myself sometime this week, I'll have gained a pound or two, especially with all the Thanksgiving leftovers I've been eating! Lol.

Belly button in or out? In, but it's starting to look a little funny, lol.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Felt any movement? Feeling a little something in there! It's getting more noticeable!

Gender? Hopefully in about 3 weeks we'll know!

How has your sleep been? Getting better! But waking up with tailbone pain is not fun... Time to start using the maternity pillow again (it's currently used as a "bed rail" to keep my daughter from rolling out of my bed, so I've gotta start putting her in her crib more often now, lol.

What are your dreams about? I had a super weird dream this week, but forgot it! I just remember waking up and thinking "what the heck!?" but can't remember it now! :(

Are you nesting? Nope! Can't wait to set up my tree this week though!

Labor signs? Nope! But I'm pretty certain I felt a few braxton hicks on Thanksgiving... Not sure it's normal to have them this early? I gotta keep up on my water intake!

What was your best moment last week? Making Thanksgiving dinner for my husband and daughter (after we spent it with his parents) and doing some shopping :)

What are you looking forward to this week? Putting up my Christmas decorations and doing some shopping! :)

I think I'm over all the leftovers from Thanksgiving, lol! Can't stop thinking about a soft serve cone from Dairy Queen! Yum! Maybe I'll get one tomorrow, lol :)

I craved ice cream through most of my pregnancy. That and red meat! It's funny how that works. Now, all I want is home made food like Thanksgiving all the time!
