Today is 17 weeks! Big news from last week.....I felt the baby yesterday!! It was very cool. I felt it on at least 4 different occasions throughout the day yesterday. The first two times were sitting at my desk leaning forward a little, so probably squishing the baby so it was fighting for space :). The first time was faint and just a couple so I wasn't sure. The second batch was unmistakable and lasted for a long time, several minutes. I was IMing Spencer through the whole thing telling him when there was a little poke or a big punch or just a shimmy/wiggle. I tried really hard not to move
because I didn't want to shift to a position where I couldn't feel it.
I felt it on my car ride home and again while sitting on the couch later that night, but both were shorter than the
long stretch at my desk. I also felt it a little bit this morning
while lying in bed and am excited to hopefully feel it again soon!!
Spencer is really jealous that he can't feel it yet and insists that he
put his hand on my stomach whenever I feel them come even though he
can't feel anything :).
I would say I'm officially
showing now. Spencer has been trying to get me to take a belly picture,
but I'm not a huge fan of taking pictures even when I don't have a huge
belly sticking out of me, so I'm not thrilled about that idea. But I
will probably give in this week since he wants one so bad. I'll send it
with the next update so you can see how big the baby bump is getting :).
In general I am feeling much better, only a little nauseous in the evenings. My back has been bothering me a lot, we plan on talking to the Dr about that tomorrow. We are starting to think about all of the things we need to get and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed at the thought of it all :)! I still have mixed feelings about the speed at which this pregnancy is going by. In general I feel like it is going way too fast! But at the same time, I can't wait to meet our little one and March seems a long way off :).
