Hey Mommy, I'm in here!

The last couple of weeks I've started feeling a few bumps and thumps but this week the action has picked up a little. Yesterday I felt a really strong "kick". Who knows at this point if it was a foot or elbow but it was strong. It caused me to tear up which is nothing new these days. I'm very excited to feel like we are getting somewhere. Soon enough movement will probably be uncomfortable but I like knowing my little one is in there. Other than this pretty much everything is still the same. I'll be 17 weeks Saturday and I have a checkup next Friday. This will be the first time for Justin to hear the heart beat so I'm excited. I guess I will have to start taking some belly pictures to post but for now I just feel fat so I'm holding off.

Update at 14 weeks

Thanks to Heather for creating a new blog for me so I can keep everyone up to date with what's going on with our little one on the way. As of tomorrow I will be 14 weeks and starting my second trimester. YAY! Yesterday I had an appointment and learned my results from my nuchal translucency test came back great. This is a test they do using an ultrasound to see if the baby could possibly have down syndrom and some other problems. We also heard the heart beat and scheduled the appointment to find out what our little one will be. Justin really was hoping to find out at my 18 week appointment which is October 2nd but he will have to wait till the 19th. We are both very excited to find out so maybe we can settle on a name. For now we will have to keep wondering.

Am I a boy or girl? We will see...
