17 weeks 5 days

Here I am with the 2nd profile picture. I didn't post the first because I do not have it. I'm sure at some point someone will send it to me and then I'll post it. I get those e-mails from some pregnancy websites. I received one last week and the headline said "This week, people can tell you are pregnant." I thought to myself " yeah, I don't just look fat anymore"! Anyway, she is kicking away and I can feel it every once in a while. Mostly when she doesn't like the way I sit or lay down. She is so considerate to let me know.

More recent history...

I am 16 weeks and 4 days here. I was so impatient about finding out the sex of the baby. So, my loving husband went along with me to one of those 3-D imaging clinics. We found out we were having a girl. I did not care about the gender, so I was happy. When we told everyone it was a girl, the first comment out of their mouths was "What does Peter think of that?". I calmly stated that he was thrilled to have a girl as if he would be disappointed. I guess some people don't know him as well as they think!

Here, I am around 8 weeks along. Everything was looking good. I had told my mother at this point in the pregnancy about the good news. She wanted to tell everyone but I insisted she was another 4 weeks. I'm not sure how she made it that long, but she did. This is her first grandchild so I can only imagine the attention it will get.

A bit of history...

This is the ultrasound picture around 6 weeks. When I intially went to the doctor, they thought I was further along. I tried to tell them I wasn't but they insisted. So, all you get is a little fetal pole. At this point, I was just happy everything looked good!

You're just not approachable...

I guess I am just not the sentimental type. Go figure. Also, I am told I am not approachable, whatever that means. Anyway, I have to say that I haven't had random strangers ask me ,or for that matter not ask me, to touch my belly. You can definitely tell I am pregnant now and I don't just look "fat". So, being unapproachable, has it's upsides. I look at this in a very positive light. Angry Sandi : 1, Curious Public : 0.

Because I am not that sentimental, I do not have but a few pictures of my belly progress. I'll post pictures soon enough. And, I promise, to start caring slightly more and remembering to take pictures of my belly.

That's news to me...

So, I figured I'd give this whole blog thing a shot. A few of my friends have them and I actually read them and find them interesting. Also, I don't really like talking on the phone so I can keep in touch without actually having to keep in touch. Lame, I know. So, here we go...
