17 weeks


So, this week, my belly seemed to pop out noticeably. What fit me on Thursday no longer fit me on Tuesday. I had many co-workers approach me and tell me that I finally looked like I was pregnant. My pants have gotten increasingly tighter. Kinda fun!
  This week, Ryan came home with a HUGE tupperware crate full of maternity clothes from one of his co-workers. She has had 2 kids and was just keeping all of her clothes in her basement. So, because of her kindness, I have a whole new wardrobe! I seriously have everything, and they are cute clothes too! Probably about 10 pairs of pants- jeans, capris, khakis, etc. I also go lots of long sleeve shirts, dress clothes, t-shirts and cute tank tops for this spring when I am really big. I tried everything on. It was like Christmas! So fun! Quite a bit of the stuff is too big still, so I will have plenty to grow into. How fun!
 I went to the doctor last Friday and all went well. The baby's heart rate was at 143, so not as high as when it was younger. But, right in the middle of average and healthy- which is all I can ask for!
 I should start feeling the baby within the next couple of weeks. That will be really exciting!
