17 weeks

So I'm 17 weeks today. My symptoms this week included headaches -- 2 days bad enough for me to take tylenol. Also nightly heartburn.

I had my 3rd prenatal appt with Dr. Rinato on Wednesday. I really like her. I'm up a total of 7lbs, the heartbeat was in the 140s, and everything is going great. Made an appt for the big ultrasound -- April 23rd. I'll be 21 weeks. It feels so far away! I just want to know if this baby is a boy or girl NOW!

I'm not showing a bunch -- I can tell I'm bigger, but most other people might just think I'm getting pudgy.

Anyway, I cannot BELIEVE I'm 17 weeks pregnant. I'm starting to realize that this pregnancy will continue to progress and in a few short months, I'm going to have a real, live baby to take care of. Like, I knew that before, but every day it just sinks in more and more. I'm still really anxious about the daycare issue, as we don't have that loose end tied up yet, but I'm trying not to worry about things and just go with the flow.
