17 weeks

I haven't updated for a month.  It's been a very busy few weeks for me and my family.  Everything is going great and is quite uneventful on the pregnancy front - that's a GREAT thing!  There is no denying I'm pregnant and haven't just eaten an entire pizza by now!  :)  I told Brad a couple days ago that I am now realizing I will be quite large and probably miserable in a few months.  His reply, "You are just NOW realizing that!?".  LOL!  It's all so worth it.  Worth every ache and pain.  Worth the constant sore boobs.  Worth every kick and punch from inside.  Worth all the extra stretch marks. Worth all the heartburn.  Worth the swollen ankles to come.  Worth all the pillows in bed that pushes Brad to the edge of the mattress.  Worth not being able to see my own feet.  Worth the added pounds. Worth the million trips to the bathroom. These babies are so worth it.  These parents are so completely worth it.

We are 17 weeks today.  It's so crazy to think we are almost half way there.  Our next appointment and the big anatomy ultrasound is in a week and a half.  The last ultrasound showed babies a few days ahead of schedule, so that's awesome!  I am still not feeling them move consistently yet...wondering if I have anterior placentas, as I didn't think to ask at the last ultrasound.  I normally feel distinct movement around 14 weeks.  The parents are getting more excited each day and decorating the nursery.  I remember that excitement with my own.  I'm over the moon happy for them!  Again, please keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.  They are much appreciated!!
