17 Weeks



How Far Along: 17 weeks
Size of baby: Baby #2 weighs about 5 ounces and is about 5 inches long from head to bottom. 
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I’m not sure. Around 6-7 lbs, maybe. 
Maternity Clothes: I've pretty much been wearing dresses. It's just hot and that's easier. I did order a couple of pair of maternity shorts. I'm very confused as to how I feel about the stretchy band vs. the full panel pants/shorts. I've definitely grown this week. A teacher at school commented Monday that she thought I'd grown since Friday. I think she was right. 
Gender: Our next appointment is June 10 and they will do gender ultrasound. We've been very tempted to go to the 4D place nearby this week, but they didn't have an appointment the only afternoon we could go, so I guess we'll just wait. 
Movement: Definitely, especially at night when I lay down. 
Sleep: I've been sleeping great! I even sleep through the night some nights! 
Cravings:  Bojangles spicy fries. 
Symptoms: The acne, still. I started using Cetaphil but I can't tell a difference at all. 
Best Moment this week: There's not like feeling those tiny, sweet flutters. I can't wait til Dusty and Avery Claire can feel baby!

Brooke, I bought the Peter Thomas Roth acne system from Sephora and it comes with like 5 different things-a scrub, a wash, a serum, acne spot treatment, and something for pores that I didn't use. I didn't use everything all together but after about 2 weeks I saw a pretty significant difference! If you have a Sephora nearby, they are really good about offering samples too! On another note, you and your mini are to cute!
