17 weeks and 3 days aka 4.5 months

OK, it was going by SO slow in the beginning and now I am thinking SLOW DOWN. Before I know it we will know the gender and then I feel like it will just zoom by. I am excited to meet the little struzick but OMG there is so much that has to be done. How am I supposed to be ready for a baby when our house looks like a tornado just went though it? Seriously, there is a pic below. We cleaned out the nursery this past weekend and man oh man there is so much to do. We took everything out of the room and brought it to the living room so we can repackage everything and figure out if we will put it in the garage or the closet in the other room (which is not enough room). How are we already busting at the seams and we don't even have anything baby yet? I know it will all get done but my oh my. I am an organized person and I just have the start from the beginning. Ok, just had to get that out there.

Let's continue.....
The bump is getting a little bigger. I feel like it really started coming out this weekend because my slacks are NOT fitting at all anymore and neither are my shirts. Thankfully I have some shirts from Candace but I need to buy pants this weekend. I know in my pics I look super frumpy but let's be real, this is what I look like when I come home from work. I run straight to the closet and put on shorts and a tshirt, take off all my jewelery and chill.
how far along? 17 weeks 3 days
how are you measuring? Don't know, but will find out on Monday - when we find out the gender!
size of baby? According to thebump.com our baby is 5.1 inches long and 5.9 oz, the size of an onion
heartbeat? 163 bpm (at our 14 weeks appointment)
total weight gain/loss? + 2 lbs as of 14 weeks
maternity clothes? Not yet but I need them - BAD
stretch marks? No, and I am praying they don't come
sleep? I wake up once a night to go potty but starting this week I wake up a couple times when I am on my stomach cause it hurts so I have to roll to the side.
best moment this week? Seeing my belly grow so much in the past couple of days
movement? Don't feel anything yet but it can't be long
food cravings? I would say fruit would be it.
gender predictions? No clue. We have a mix of thoughts from fam and friends
what i miss? Sleeping through a whole night. I still desperately miss diet dr. pepper, I know I can have caffeine now but I am really trying to limit it. I am really craving some sushi as well!
what I'm looking forward to? Finding out the gender - on Monday (Aug 8)
how are you feeling? Really great!!!

The size of an onion - crazy!!! The pic is from thebump.com
