Baby Update

So we are about 17 weeks and 3 days. This is what the baby looks like right about now. This is NOT my baby, this baby belongs to someone in Ohio, and I must also say that this is a male baby, so...just take note of that.
Anyway, we are going to try to find out if the baby is a girl or a boy on January 30th. We have our preference, but we will be happy either way. It may just take a few days to adjust.

I've been feeling the baby move for about a week. The kicks aren't very strong yet, but I do feel the flutters here and there. For the first few days it was just around my belly button, but the last few days they've been more towards my pelvis.

The last appointments have been great. I've lost a few pounds, but everyone knows that's not a bad thing for me!! Other than that, my blood work and urine tests have been just fine. My only frustration has been that my doctor is now sharing his practice with some other doctor and they keep trying to get me in with the other guy. I'm a little irritated about that because I went to Dr. Johnson because I like him, not because I want to be a part of a group of doctors. Oh well, Aspen didn't come on her own, I'm kinda hoping in a very small way that this one doesn't want to either and I have to be induced again, at least then I can chose a day that Dr.Johnson will be delivering.

We have baby names picked out, but continue to throw new ones at each other. The other one almost always says "no" for one reason or another, so we stick with the ones that we had picked out a few months ago. We will share them when we are ready.

Thats the baby update at 17 weeks. Everything is OK so far!!
