Progress Report! (Week 17)

Wow! Sorry it’s been so long sense the last update! Thankfully, this has been a very quiet pregnancy so far. :)

I had a doctor appointment last week and confirmed that so far the baby and myself are very, very healthy. We will get to go in for the anatomy ultrasound early next month where we will hopefully find out that the baby is still healthy, developing normally and if it is a boy or girl! (YAY!) I’m super anxious to find all of that out, so I have a feeling the next few weeks are going to drag by. Lol!

More recently, a bump has finally starting to show… to those who live far away and don’t see me all the time please just take my word on this! Still no pics because I am super tummy shy. :P Right now it looks like I’ve just gained a little extra weight in the midsection… but I’m sure that before we know it, it will look like a baby bump and I will hopefully not be so picture shy! ;) I can for sure tell that there is lots of growing going on as I can feel the stomach muscles getting achy and campy from trying to make room for everything! Ryan is so funny sometimes, when I complain about this he just pats my belly and says, “Don’t worry, it’s just the baby remodeling.”

The other recent exciting development is that I’ve started to feel the baby move! Right now it just feels like a fluttering, but every once and a while I’ll feel a little poke. This has really made everything seem a bit more real!

There are also 2 other gals I work with that are pregnant! It had been nice having people around that I see almost every day that are going through the same stuff that I am... especially sense I am a ways away from my family. It's also nice to know that it won’t be hard to find playmates the same age for the little one when they get here! :) The nursery theme has been decided on! It will be jungle/zoo. :) At first we wanted to do Noah's Ark... but it was getting really hard to find things that we liked/could afford... but the jungle theme seems to be pretty popular right now, so it has been quite a bit easier finding things we like for that. Also a lot of the toys and decor are pretty gender neutral for that so we have been able to get a few things here and there which has been very fun!

That is about it for now! I promise I will post again soon when I have more to write about! :)
