17 weeks update with pics!!! :)

Hey ladies!

I havent been here for a while it seems!! Anyways everything is going great, I am so excited, we sold our house and will be moving into my parents house by July 18th (they are living in Shreveport, my dad is a pastor)!! YAY!! My mom said I can paint the nursery (well, hubby can since I was forbidden to be in the room) and I have my colors all picked out! I am not going with traditional pink or blue. I like to be creative!  :)

This week (17) my baby is growing his/her fingernails and toenails, and his/her soft cartilige is turning into hard bone! He/she is a little over 5 inches long now!  I think I feel movement, but could be gas..... 

I find out next week (Friday) what my baby's sex is!!!  I want a girl so bad, but I have a feeling that its a boy. They say that when its a boy your belly goes outward and when its a girl your belly goes to the sides....well my belly is popping OUT!! (pics below)   I also havent gained any weight at all since getting preg. I gain 3 pounds then the next week I lose it.

You are the most precious little pregger woman!  I can't wait to find out what flavor you are getting!!

I'm thinking pink for you!!

Look how cute you are!! Congratulations and I'll be sending pink baby dust your way!

Have you noticed an increase in hair growth since pregnancy? If carrying a boy, the increase in testerone causes this. Happened to my daughter when carrying my grandson. If no noticable increase in hair growth, then maybe it is a girl.  How you carry a baby has to do with your body and not with the sex of the baby.
Congrats to you and daddy.

Gosh looking at that belly, Im thinking GIRL! I was creative with my babies rooms too. B, my oldest got mickey mouse. The twins... they got noah's ark... two by two Neither was what you'd traditionally think of though.

Finding out if you were blessed with a boy or a girl is one of the most exciting moments of your life!!! You feel the adrenaline rush, your heart swells up and skips a beat...it's like waiting to find out if you're pregnant all over again! 

I don't really believe that certain physical changes we go through during pregnancy is a sign of what the baby's gender is; I have a boy and a girl and both pregnancies were exactly the same...exactly!!! I thought I was having another Daniel and "surprise!" along came my Amanda! However, I have heard people say that if you are expecting a girl, your face takes a softer, prettier glowing appearance. If it's a boy, it's the opposite. So if you wake up on day and you look really ugly, you'll know you're having a boy! LOL 

 

Anyways, boy or girl, I am really happy for you and your husband, because in the end the gender doesn't really matter!   You will be great parents! 
Sending some pink dust  and lots  of  your way!
