Baby Brookshire

So my sister requested I increase the baby updates and since I was able to take some decent looking pictures last night (i.e. I was wearing real clothes and make-up) I decided to oblige! Here goes...

How far along: 17 weeks 3 days

Maternity clothes: Still only pants. Luckily flowy tops have been in style lately so I have not had a problem with most of my shirts. Am going shopping this afternoon for a bump appropriate dress for a wedding this weekend...not looking forward to it!

Weight Gain: About 10 lbs...I am hoping this is normal! All my baby books say during the second trimester I should be gaining a pound per week.

Stretch marks: None and I have been good about putting on the Cocoa Butter every night because my stomach is really itchy! Ahhh...the strange side effects of pregnancy!

Sleep: Pretty much back to a normal sleep schedule. I look forward to my weekend naps...but that has always been a staple for me! No more napping at work though.

Best moment this week: I had a client ask me if I was expecting. This is the first person that I hadn't told to say something about it. Yeah! I guess this means I am finally out of the "I ate too much" stange and am starting to really look pregnant!

Movement: Maybe...I think I have felt something a few times...but it hasn't been consistent. Hoping this starts soon!

Food cravings: Still craving mac and cheese! I've had it atleast three days this week...maybe this is contributing to the extra weight gain...hmmm....

Gender: Hope to find out at our appointment next week!

Labor Signs: Thanfully none!

Belly Button in or out: Still in

What I miss: A cold beer! How redneck do I sound!?! I thought I would really miss wine and fruity martinis...but I really haven't. I would love a cold cornona and lime right now!!!

What I am looking forward to: Our appointment next week!

Milestones: I think I have finally "popped"!

17 week bump

And one looking non-frumpy. April...this shot is for you!

Also...I have added a poll to the left side of the screen for you to vote if you think Baby Brookshire is a girl or boy...let me know what you think!
