17 Weeks down, 23 to go!

Two more weeks until our Ultrasound. I can't wait to find out what we are having!!! We invited Rachel to go along and see her little niece or nephew; I will be very happy to have her there!

It seems like time is going by very quickly now....those first few weeks seemed to take forever!!! I have been on an emotional roller coaster. Some days I am ridiculously happy and others I am near tears for no good reason.

One day early on I was feeling pretty down. I went to the mall, spent way too much money (Who needs 4 bottles of shower gel from Bath and Body Works at one time?!), and burst into tears when a shop girl was nice to me. Then on a whim I went for a haircut (turned out great, thank goodness!) and called my Mom to come over that night and keep me company. Before she came over I was watching a show I had on DVR and the opening song made me cry, so I paused it, cried for two minutes, then stopped crying as suddenly as it started and resumed watching the show....bizarro. When Mom came I cried again. I told her, "This is a big deal! This is really heavy!" That's pretty much the only time I freaked out.

So I pretty much feel like I've lost my mind some days. I forget where things always have been. I am very forgetful. I just don't feel like myself. I have the same workload at work but it seems like too much now. And I am sleepy and ready for bed most nights by 7PM! The time change didn't help either!

I am also having issues sleeping. I wake up hungry in the middle of the night, even though I try to eat something before bed...and once my belly wakes up the rest of me can't sleep! I have ended up snacking then moving to the couch most some nights around 4AM. The couch and I are becoming good friends.

Overall though, I feel great. Saturday I shopped all day! I couldn't believe I lasted that long! I still haven't gained any weight which my doctor is happy about. And I am too! My belly feels different every day and I am loving each new day and feeling something a little different...even if sometimes the things I feel aren't that great.

I think Tom and I might go check out baby things this weekend. Tom really wants the baby to have new baby furniture so I may take him to a fancy baby store and show him the $900 cribs... :)
