How far along? 17 weeks (as of Saturday)
Baby's size? onion (yuck!) - a little over 5 inches in length
Total weight gain: 7ish pounds - not entirely sure (I want to know) after our vacation this weekend.
Maternity clothes? Yep. I'm officially wearing maternity clothes more than half the time.
Sleep: Great one night, not so much the next.
Best moments this past week: We had several birthday celebrations for my sweet husband this past week. We also had an amazing 4-day weekend at the Flagstaff cabin. We've made our 4th of July celebration an annual one, spending the day/evening at the country club. We love this little tradition of ours and enjoyed a weekend full of cool weather, games, good food, fireworks, family, drinks (for eveeeeryone else, but me!) and fun!

Miss Anything? I would have liked to enjoy a glass of wine or two on the Fourth, but the desire has passed and I'm still doing A-Okay without alcohol.
Movement: I still feel itty bitty flutters when I'm laying down, but there haven't been any indefinite kicks just yet.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope. I think I'm slowly getting my appetite back though, so that's a plus!

Belly Button in or out? It's more than half way out and occasionally noticeable through my shirt. Seriously?? How did that happen already?!
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY!!!
Looking forward to: Our Chicago vacation. We aren't going until the end of August, but it's on my mind since we just booked our tickets this week. I love that we're able to travel with Ellie and experience new vacations with her. :)

No chalkboard picture this week since we were in Flagstaff.
The greenery backdrop will have to do instead.
