17 and Some

Already 17 weeks! Almost 18! That means I am very nearly half way through. Hard to believe. It felt like ages just getting through the first weeks. Counting the minutes until I was in my second trimester. I know the rest of the pregnancy is going to fly by…and that really scares me.

So this last week my belly has really popped! No longer do I have the chubby belly I have the hard round belly of a pregnant woman. It is actually neat as it seemed to happen overnight.
I have yet to feel the baby kick….I think. I have felt flutters but I can’t be certain it is the baby. I am pretty sure it is. It is nothing regular. I am having troubles walking already. Some massive hip/pelvic pain. I see the OB next week and I am hoping something can be done or recommended. I don’t know how I will get through the next 5 months like this. I am waddling already (due to this pain …or hip problem) My husband already called me hop-along. I threatened to hurt him badly if he did again. Hehe

Trust me you should not make fun of a pregnant woman. We are hormonal and not always in control of our actions. (see Matt I didn’t mean to break a bag of chips over your head…my hormones did though!)

17 weeks and some and I am still very excited! Still nervous as all. I worry that something has happened and I just don’t know it yet. I am trying my best to relax and think happy thoughts. Doesn’t always come easy to me but the key word is try.
