17 Week Check-Up

Yesterday we visited the doctor for our 17 week check-up. No ultrasound this time, but the heartbeat of the baby was in the 140 range....could it be a girl or a boy?? We will find out March 21st. I find it funny that everything I experience in my pregnancy is opposite of what the books say I should be experiencing! Haven't gained any weight and people still cannot tell I am pregnant, but the doc says I am doing great and me and baby are both healthy.....she also says not to pay attention to what the books say!

I can't believe in 3 weeks I will be half way there! Time is already flying by to quickly and our little peanut isn't even here yet. I've decided to keep a hand written journal that includes more personal thoughts that I will give to our little baby one day when he/she is all grown up. I think it will be special for him/her to read about my thoughts and feelings of pregnancy and how I already love this little baby beyond belief. When I think about my precious little baby being curled up inside my belly I can only smile with excitement, joy, and love. It's an experience I cannot describe. I'm sure it only gets better as time passes.
