17 weeks and Doctor Update!!!

WOW....where has the time gone?? I am currently 17 weeks and getting bigger everyday!! I love it! I have also really started to feel this little one kicking around. It is the most amazing feeling, words cannot describe. I have been feeling flutters for a while now, but I am able to feel kicks. I can actually place my hand on my belly and feel it. SO AMAZING! I feel the baby pretty often, so I am positive that this baby will be pretty active. So here are my 17 week photos:

We went back to the doctor today! Everything went great. My blood pressure was good, which everyone at work worried about my blood pressure because of the migraine headaches that I was getting. I really did not think that it was my blood pressure. I talked to the doctor about those headaches today and she thinks that they are hormonal migraines. She gave me a prescription to take if I get another one. Lets hope I don't have to use it! I have gained a little over 5 pounds since my last appointment 5 weeks ago. So I have gained a total of 9 1/2 pounds since the beginning. They told me that I was right on track. :) The doctor listened to the baby's heartbeat and she asked us if we were going to find out the sex. We told her yes. She smiled and said that she would listen to the heartbeat and see if she could take a guess. Well she said that the baby's heartbeat was in the low-mid 140's and she looked at us and said that she wasn't even going to attempt to guess because that was right in the middle and normally she would say a boy if it had a lower heart rate, but she said that it could be a little girl that is asleep. So we will have to just wait and see. :) Nick told me tonight that he was talking to one of the guys that he works with and his wife is pregnant as well. They just found out they are having a little girl and her heart rate was at 141. So it just goes to show that you really cannot tell by their little heartbeat. Either way, the doctor said that it was a healthy heartbeat. :) I just cannot wait to find out.

Anyway....I guess that is all for now. Love you all.
