17 weeks!! WAHOOOO...



Are we there yet??


Ok, not quite but I am quickly approaching the half way point. Next month we have the ultrasound and I can't wait!!
 I have gained 9 lbs thus far. I think at least 2lbs has been just in my face!! Hahaha... jk. Seriously though I was curious what I should have gained at this point. So I googled. MISTAKE. I found a pregnancy weight calculator.. MISTAKE. USED THE PREGNANCY WEIGHT CALCULATOR... guess what... MISTAKE!! So first it tells me that I was overweight before I got pregnant... THANK YOU! That's always nice to know. Especially after loosing 20lbs before getting pregnant. Anywhooo.... moving on. According to the calculator I have gained 3 more lbs then I should at this point. Thank you, again. It also informed me that by the end of the pregnancy I should be somewhere between 169-179. Wellllll.... that will be interesting, since I am almost to that point right now. Oh, I love weight. I actually currently weigh what I weighed at the beginning of my pregnancy with Brody. So at least things have improved. :) 

In other news. I am doing good. Feeling as good as I possibly can. Pregnancy the second time is interesting. Your belly pops sooner,  you feel the baby move sooner! Love that! However, I have also gotten heartburn sooner, have more body pain, sleep less sooner, and can't imagine what it's going to be like at the end. I am more anxious to be done. I just want to hold my baby. I am curious about labor, intrigued. BUT also a little scared. I hope that it will go quicker and maybe be a little easier since it's the second. More then anything I hope I push for 30 minutes or less... that would be the bomb! Brody is screaming... gotta run.

You look totally adorable. Don't forget your weight can change as much as 4lb in one day. Those pregnancy calculators are bunk anyways. Go by what your doctor tells you. Besides I gained 32lb with this last pregnancy and here I am at 9 days post partum and I've lost all but 10 of them. It appears mine was mostly baby and water.
