FUTURE NOLE!
Again, I'm late posting this. At the beginning of the week, I wanted it to be (today) Saturday and Sunday so badly. If you follow our family blog then you will know Matt gets home this Tuesday. When I get to the last two weeks of a tour, I count down every second until he is home. This is one thing that annoys both him and me about myself. I can not help it though. I thought this week was going to crawl by, when in fact it has done just the opposite. I am not sitting in my bed, 10:45 PM, trying desperately to keep my eyes open.
Today's chalk board "Week Drawing" and progress picture are a little awkward, as I had to rig my Mac Book on top of a laundry basket, on top of kitchen bar stools to get the shot. Normally Krysta patiently takes about 30 pictures on my iPhone and they look relatively normal.
Well, it is true. I am 17 weeks. One week away from knowing whether sweet little fatty is a boy or a girl. I CAN NOT WAIT TO FIND OUT!!!! Keep us in your thoughts and prayers, as it would be my luck that the little nugget would be asleep or covering his/her private parts so we can't find out until later! Whaaa. Please baby, don't do that to us.

Your baby's 
Week 17
14
Your Baby:
- Is about five inches long from head to rump, which is the EXACT height of the jar of salsa I am currently quadruple dipping into. Bowls are for suckers.
- Has begun to develop the all-importantadipose tissue — more affectionately known as baby fat.
- Is hard at working transforming its skeleton from soft cartilage into solid bone. Get this baby a part on Heroes.
You:
- Possibly feel immensely huge and very pregnant, but your bump probably isn’t as noticeable as you think it is. People may hesitate to comment or miss it completely, like the woman last night who came up and handed me an alcoholic cocktail and seemed genuinely shocked when I politely refused it, despite the fact that I feel like my belly eclipses my shoes at this point.
- “Normal” weight gain at this point can be anything between five and 13 pounds, although y’all know how I feel about the word “normal.” One book I read this week advised any woman who has gained more than 13 pounds to see a nutritionist and “be more careful”, while my doctor COMPLIMENTED me last Wednesday on not managing to gain a single blessed pound yet. I want to stab the world in the eyeballs with a fork right now, a little bit.
