17 Week Bump

Oh how time is flying by and oh how good I have been feeling lately. I feel almost normal. Well normal, minus the fact that my clothes are tight, pants don't button and have to leave my cardigans open. :) Baby is the size of a pear this week. He/She is about 5" long and weighs about 5oz now. That is a lot bigger than when he/she was the size of a grape. Like I said I have felt relatively well lately. I Still sleeping a ton (bed time is definitely right around 8:30) but when I fall asleep it is really hard to STAY asleep. I wake up for no reason multiple times a night and then I am just wide awake. It is no fun at all.
My next dr. appointment is in a week. I go see Dr. Brandes on the 17th and then I will have all the genetic testing done and schedule my anatomy ultrasound. I am excited to see the baby again but sad because usually this is when we get the "its a girl or its as boy" announcement but this time we will have to wait till May for that. I am really hoping the dr just tells me the baby has his/her legs crossed and even if I wanted to know I wouldn't get to find out. Then it's like it's a sign that it was meant to be that we are waiting till the birth...only 23+ weeks away. HA
Grow strong little one!
