Best Moment This Week: Got some house work done and the fish tank is clean!!

Name: You'll have to wait and find out!
Movement: Having a few more kicks and wiggles this week.
Food Craving: No major cravings this week.
Sleep: Getting rough again. Having weird dreams at night that wake me up, then of course since I'm awake, nature calls!
Symptoms: Still have some morning sickness mainly due to smells. Starting to feel the effects of my growing abdomen as it stretches. Been a little uncomfortable this week.
What I'm Looking Forward To: I have my midwife appointment coming up in the next week. I think we'll be having an ultrasound this time around!

This is how I know I'm done having babies: your posts don't inspire even one drop of envy. :)
I can't believe that you're already 17 weeks along! Feels like just yesterday that we were talking in the foyer...
(This is Serena, by the way. I just realized that Marc was still signed in, but I'm too lazy to go back and log in again. Sorry.)
