17 weeks...

what's happening this week...

baby is the length of an onion

measured by belly for the fist time - 33 inches at the navel

more and more people are noticing my bump...mostly coworkers. i guess this belly is hard to hide in scrubs 

just waiting patiently to feel the first baby kicks...i've heard to look for "butterfly flutters"...if i don't notice them before this weekend, i might try to lie down and really concentrate to see if i feel anything - i'm just so anxious to feel those sensations!!

my quad AFP screening came back negative! 
here is a little more information on the test, if interested Quad Screen ...basically it is a screening test to look for neural tube defects (such as spina bifida), Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome), Trisomy18 (Edwards Syndrome) and other types of chromosome abnormality. 

still feeling pretty good - although i do have some bad days - but it is much more tolerable than what i was dealing with

went for a two mile walk outside on monday and it was fabulous. looking forward to this spring weather and getting in more and more walks just like that
