17 Week Bumpdate

Today's appointment was a quick one since it was just a standard check up. These are the kind of appointments I like. In and out!

The heart rate today was 156, much lower than the last time. I thought that I had felt a few little kicks a week or so ago but I haven't felt that since so I'm not sure if that's what it was. I can't wait to start feeling the little kicks and jabs.

I have finally used up the reserve of 4 or 5 pounds that I had lost and am even keel with were I started when I found out I was pregnant. So, all weight gained from here on out will be plus pounds.

The morning sickness has finally subsided. I haven't gotten sick in probably two weeks. That's good and bad because I have noticed an ever growing appetite! Now we have the heartburn, headaches and backaches to deal with. All much better than the morning sickness!

I am still more tired than ever before. I am really trying to make it to bed earlier but that's so hard to do sometimes.

I have only been craving things on occasion. The biggest craving is chocolate milk and we have some in the house at all times.

Last update, I had mentioned that I had a feeling this one is a boy but after the past few weeks, I'm going back to my original prediction and saying girl. The good news is that we will find out in exactly 12 days!!!!! The gender ultrasound is scheduled for April 9th.

Don't forget to vote! Boy or Girl?!

Next update in 2 weeks!
