Momma's Monday Check-in: 17/40

Note: McFatty Monday's is no longer! Instead I will post Momma's Monday Check-in. Join me as I eat and exercise my way through the next 23 weeks.

Due Date: April 8, 2011

Total weight gain: 6

Cravings/Aversion: None to think of.

Sleep: It was a tough week. Not a lot of sleep for me.

I can't live without (or at least I don't want to): Roscoe's nanny.

I miss: Having the option to sleep on my stomach. Some nights that just sounds so comfy and preferable to side sleep.

I am looking forward to: The Bradley instructor course starts this week on Thursday!

Aha moment: I am privileged to know Roscoe and to have the opportunity to parent him.

Best moment this week: Hearing the baby's heartbeat was nice. Even though I'm obviously pregnant, confirmation never gets old.

Milestones: 17 weeks feels so close to halfway!!

Movement: I've had a few episodes of distinct activity, but Little Sears doesn't seem as active as I remember Roscoe being at this stage.

Gender: We find out in 9 days! The menu is set, and the decorations have been chosen! I'll be wearing blue to the party.

Exercise: I boxed on Monday, ran 5 miles on Tuesday, and then went to boxing on Friday. Despite my best intentions I never made it on my second run, nor did I lift any weights. Boo.

Diet: We bought some Irish Butter during our weekly grocery spree. It is SO delicious that I devoured several loaves of bakery bread just so I could eat more of it. Halloween is over too, which is a good thing.

Goals for the upcoming week: I'll be staying at a hotel Thursday through Sunday so, realistically, I'll get two or three days of cardio in. Hopefully at least half of those days will be for running.

Labor Signs: None
