17 Weeks

Thursday, April 17, 2008
Ok, Ok, I will make a new post about a baby update! I am feeling much better than two months ago and my energy is returning. I have been doing really good and my allergies haven't been as bad as I expected. So far, I have been able to take my allergy medication every other day which was impossible several months ago. Guess my hormones finally have changed back to my more 'normal' allergy state before my first pregnancy. We'll see how I fair as nature starts blooming :-)

I had another check up yesterday and the baby still has a strong heartbeat and all is well. I have had my countdown going since the first of April for my ultrasound...only 11 more days!! I am really looking forward to finding out what we are having. I am definitely not one of those people who can wait in anticipation the whole pregnancy. That just seems so much more nerve-wracking to me to not know! We will be taking Brynn with us to the ultrasound appt. I think she will enjoy it and hopefully make it a little more understandable. She does talk about the baby and occasionally will come up and kiss my belly. My belly, by the way, has POPPED! I cannot believe how much I am showing right now, no more disguising it. Please continue to pray with us for a healthy baby.

I am sure there will be another update in 11 days! Pray that the baby won't be shy and will show us that it's a he or a she!

Glad you are feeling well and doing good. Can't wait to hear what you are having... any feelings so far on the sex? What does Brynn say.. siblings have a sixth sense...

miss you guys. Be sure to post after your ultrasound!

Ha! Ha! I knew someone would say something about a photo. I haven't taken any yet, sorry! I will post one with the ultrasound news!

Brynn told our daycare lady that she really wants a sister but she knows it's going to be a boy. I have no feeling one way or the other on what the sex is. So far the pregnancy has been pretty identical to the first. We'll see!

Yeah! I was always highly anticipating my ultrasounds too. Can't wait to find out if there's a little boy or girl swimming in there. Brynn is going to be a great big sister!
