It really seems like it was just yesterday that Tom and I were at our old house, sitting in the kitchen floor amazed that we were going to be parents! We kept having to look at the pregnancy test to make sure it didn't change, or that we read it wrong!
Now here we are at 17 weeks! That's almost half way! I can't believe it!
I had a doctor's appointment on Monday. The doctor said everything is going well! We got to hear the baby's heartbeat again...how incredible!
The best part of the visit was when I weighed...YES, you read that correctly! I will say it again...When I weighed! I told the nurse that I was a little scared to weigh this time because I have gotten a LOT bigger in the last month since I have been there and I was really nervous about how much weight I had gained.
She told me not to worry and just step on the scale. I didn't even look! She told me I had lost a pound and a half! WOO HOO!! I was SO excited by that! But then I asked the doctor how that is even possible! She said my metabolism is really high right now and that my body is working really hard, but don't get comfortable and think that is going to happen all the time!
It's ok, I will settle for once!
I have finally taken some "belly pictures"! This is my 17 week belly...
And here it is again...
Wow! Hard to believe I'm not even half way yet. I know people will look at these pictures and think "Aw, cute belly", or "Wow, she's really pregnant", or other things, but I look at this picture and think, "Oh my goodness, I'm not even HALF WAY!!!" I have a long way to go! I know it will pass quickly, but oh man, I'm going to be HUGE!!!
HUGE!!
Well, this week the baby is the size of an onion!
Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.

I definitely teared up a little when I read that!
An onion...wow! I guess that would explain why I cried so hard when Tom left to go out of town on Sunday! :)
Its just crazy to think that its almost half way. Hope he turns out as dead sexy as his father is.
ReplyDeletehaha Yes, I hope so too! But what if it's a girl?
ReplyDeleteWell some of us have always said that Tom would have been a cute girl. But we know he is a better Man... But that means the baby has potential to be a cuter girl with both your jeans (lol) :)
