17 weeks


How far along: 17 weeks (please ignore our messy bedroom, I didn't want to make Chris get out of bed to take the pic)
Total weight gain/loss: 12 pounds
Maternity clothes: yup
Stretch marks: nope  
Sleep:  not much last night, could not get comfortable  
Best moment this week:  Feeling baby a move and then the next day baby b; now feeling them every once in a while!
Gender: ??? finding out on January 7th
Belly button in or out?: In, but it is wider and not as deep
Craving: pancakes  
What I miss: not much, i am so happy to have these little ones inside me!
What I am looking forward to:  almost at the 1/2 way for twins! 



"How your baby's growing:

Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.  


How your life's changing:

Starting to feel a bit off balance? As your belly grows, your center of gravity changes, so you may begin to occasionally feel a little unsteady on your feet. Try to avoid situations with a high risk of falling.  You may also notice your eyes becoming drier. Using over-the-counter lubricating drops may help. If your contact lenses become uncomfortable, try wearing them for shorter stretches of time. If you still have discomfort, switch to glasses until after you give birth."
