Prego Picture, Beware!
I haven't done so well with the pictures of my progressing pregnancy. I still haven't come to terms with taking pictures of me getting BIGGER. It just seems wrong. It should be the opposite, but I guess that is how pregnancy goes! So without further ado, me in my ginormous glory at 17 weeks.

Another doctor's appointment
Yesterday I had another appointment with Doctor Johansen. I don't know why, but for some reason I am always exhausted after my appointments. Odd. Any way, we listened to the baby's heartbeat again, and he asked whether I had felt the baby. I was happy to report that I had felt the baby twice already.
I asked him for reccomendations for pediatricians (I never thought I would be worrying about that!), and he said, "You still have a bit of time to worry about that." to which Mark replied, "You don't know her, she has to investigate." Which I do! It took me several months and lots of referals before I decided on Doc Johansen. With my baby, it just may take even longer for me to decide, so I am getting a head start!
Now for the exciting news, we scheduled my next ultrasound, Monday, April 23rd. Hopefully we will find out then if it is a boy or a girl. I will have an appointment with the doctor right after, and we hope everything will still be going well then!
Side note, I am having a really hard time with the getting bigger thing. I haven't gained any weight, and in fact have lost some during the pregnancy, but I already feel as though I am as big as a house. I can't imagine what it will be like for me in August! I am managing the leg cramps pretty well, but I am having really severe lower back pain. 5 more months of this! I am still throwing up to. I hate reading in pregnancy books that the nausea was supposed to end three weeks ago. Yeah, right!
Another side note, I just found out yesterday why Mark wants a boy so badly. He said that if we have a boy first, he knows he will get a second child because I want a girl so badly that I will suffer through another pregnancy to get one. We'll see...
