17 Weeks

Gestational age:  17 weeks!!

Baby's current size:  Approximately 5 in.

Similar in size to:   An onion (except all the onions we get are never that big!)

Weight gain:  Not sure.  I don't own a scale, and don't plan on it, but my clothes are still fitting the same as before - except with a bigger belly :)

Looking forward to:  Finding out the sex of the baby!!  So eager to know if the baby is a boy or a girl (I'm secretly rooting for another girl!)

Not looking forward to:  Still frettin' about that GD test.  Needlessly.

Biggest food craving:  Grape juice and Cranberry Limeades from Sonic.  That's about it.

Biggest food aversion:  Eggs and corn tortillas.  Even worse, eggs on a corn tortilla.  

How this pregnancy compares to the others:  Definite back pain now, but still worlds better than the others.  Still the best pregnancy to date!

Nervous about:  Gaining tons of weight like I always do.  Definitely keeping a tight reign on the munching this time around!

Fall Luv Blog Party!

I love blog parties.  I love fall.  The two make me a very happy woman, as well as having the insatiable desire to make mulled cider, a big pot of chili, don my favorite sweater, etc.

Speaking of favorites, here's all I need for a perfect fall!

The Blue Ridge Parkway, in all of its autumnal glory

Our favorite apple orchard, and their Apple Butter Festival

Coffee (but when is it ever out of season?)

Anything sweaterish

Hosting and enjoying Thanksgiving with our dear family

Marching band competitions!

These things don't even scratch the surface!  Around here, summer is definitely not busy - it's fall that's the busiest.  And oh, how I love it!  For more Fall Luv, check out The Patriotic Peacock - and get in on the fun :)
