Baby Lawhorn {Week 17}

I haven't been the best about weekly updates on Baby Lawhorn, so here's a little update! (A blurry 15 week photo and a current 17 week photo!)

How far along?: 17w1d

How big is baby?: The size of an onion.

Weight gain/loss?: About +2 lbs?

Stretch marks?: None yet, which reminds me... I need to start putting lotion on my belly like Traci suggested!

Maternity clothes?: I wore my BeBand one day last week!

Sleep?: Sleeping pretty well, and trying to get to sleep by 9:30-10

Food cravings?: Cantaloupe... really just anything I want at the time. :)

Gender?: We will find out the first week of February!!

Movement?: None that I'm noticing, but the doctor said in the next week or so I should start to feel flutters!!

Belly button?: no different

What do you miss?: Umm.. nothing really. We talked about wanting to go to Disney World for Spring Break but I wouldn't be able to ride anything. So I miss that, but that would be the thing I miss.

What are you looking forward to this week?: Nailing down our gender appointment and feeling movement from Baby Lawhorn!!!

We went to the doctor last Friday and got to hear the heartbeat for the first time!! (If you remember, last time she couldn't find the heartbeat so she did an ultrasound, so this was the first time we heard it!) It was very cool to hear the "whoosh whoosh whoosh" of our healthy little one! The doctor said the heartbeat was 140 bpm, which was right in the middle of where it should be.

The funniest thing that happened, though, was she was holding the little wand thing on my tummy to listen, and she said "Did you feel that?" and I'm like.. no.... what? and she said "Your baby just kicked me!" CRAZY! I didn't even feel it, but she knew what to look for. Like I said above, she said that in the next week or so I would definitely start feeling movement, so I can't wait!

I'm going to try to keep up with this weekly, like my bloggie friend Leah!
