17 Week Update

No doctor appointments until August 22nd, so I just thought I'd just let you know how things are going. It dawned on me yesterday that we will finding out if we're having a boy or girl on our 5 month anniversary. We just didn't waste anytime after saying "I do." LOL

We're planning to put our house on the market so we're both working on it to try to get it ready to sell. We've put off doing alot of stuff that it needed and we're paying for it now. It's looking alot better now even though we still have tons to do. We're looking at buying a bigger home here in the Parkersburg area.

I think I found out the reason why the doctor keeps telling me that I'm feeding the baby well. According to a pregnancy book that I'm reading, the baby should be appx 2" below my belly button by Tuesday, July 29th. Well, the baby already measures directly below my belly button as of today - so there are some obvious growth spurts there. Big baby on board!

Overall, I feel great. I believe the baby is resting on my sciatic nerve which hurts and I'm having allergy-like symptoms, but other than those two things - I feel really good. Thank God.

Thank you all for your prayers & thoughts. And I'll keep posting to keep you updated! Only 1 more month until we find out from the BIG ultrasound! Whoo-hoo!!!!!!!
