17 Weeks

As of last friday we are now at 17 weeks! I am loving being pregnant now because my allergies are finally going away and I am feeling great with the occasional nap. =) I am also starting to feel our baby boy move which is the best feeling in the world. We had a Dr.'s appt last Thursday and they said that the baby is growng normally according to my measurements of my abdomen. Also the HR was 148. I was a little worried because I have only gained 3 lbs and I am hoping that is enough at this point. Dr. Eastman wasn't concerned and said that I would gain more weight later on in the pregnancy. My belly is definitely getting bigger and I am now in maternity pants.  I also declined the AFP (alpha feta protein) since our first u/s turned out well.  Next friday we have our u/s and I am super excited to see our baby again and definitively find out what we are having.

On another note we had a great weekend and got some great snapshots of Jamison while we were raking/playing in the leaves. Jamison is getting so independent and likes to do everything "by myself" as he states it. He puts on his shoes by himself and washes his hands by himself and likes to get into bed by himself. In a way it is good that he wants his independence because that will be nice when the baby comes that he is able to do more for himself. He has been going pee pee in the potty at night and is doing really well with that. Hopefully we can get him potty trained soon. Well I will update you after the u/s and let everyone know how it goes. I am a little nervous as this was when everything went wrong in our last pregnancy, but I am hopeful that everything will be ok. Until then I hope everyone has a great week.
