Hidden Hiller Chronicles: Week Seventeen

I had no memory of wearing this sweater in the 15 week picture until I uploaded it.  Ah, well: at least you can see how much bigger the bump is two weeks later!
How far along: Seventeen weeks as of Wednesday, February 5, 2014. 
Size of baby: Lima Bean is about 5 inches long from crown to rump and weighs about 5 ounces, as much as a turnip.
Maternity Clothes: I tried to wear a pair of maternity jeans this week, but they were too baggy because I stretched them out so much last time.  They literally wouldn't stay up.  So, still wearing regular pants.  I can wear one pair as is, and the rest I have to wear with a belly band.  I have plenty of long tops, so no need for maternity shirts yet, although I have a couple that are shorter that I have worn.
Movement: Still feel movement, and it is getting stronger and more frequent. 
Sex of baby: We will find out in less than three weeks!
Sleep: Fine.
What I miss: Deli sandwiches and soft cheeses.
Cravings: Finally feeling like Mexican food!  It was so funny--it's all I wanted during Henry's pregnancy, but this time, I have craved Asian-inspired and Italian food.  This week I made honey lime enchiladas and they were outstanding.  Still have that "sweet" undertone I have been craving, though.  Also, deli sandwiches.  I want a turkey sandwich!!  I already have my order ready for my first post-baby lunch: Boar's Head spicy chicken, pepper jack cheese, honey mustard and onions on sourdough.  Mmmm...just have to wait approximately 23 more weeks!
Symptoms: Tiredness, bad skin, some sharp waves of abdominal pain that I think is round ligament stretching.
What I'm looking forward to: The anatomy scan.  Soon!
