Here I am at 17 weeks. As you can see, Scrappy is gaining some sympathy weight. We’ve agreed that he will pose with me each time I take a photo…just so I don’t feel so alone.

I am struggling to stay focused on projects at home - seems that I work for an hour or so and get tired, hungry, or distracted with other things. I take cat naps when I can and am definitely eating more! Luckily I do have enough energy to get out on walks every day during the week with a friend at work. Unfortunately though, that hasn’t prevented my chest or arms from growing at an incredible rate. I feel like I am wearing water wings! So much for the guns I used to have…

Jim is coping quite well with it all too. Being very helpful around the house and being patient with my tossing and turning in the night and multiple trips to the bathroom.

We bought a Wii this week. This was strategic and “for the baby”, you know, to encourage the development of hand eye coordination. tee,hee.

Today we received our test results for the triple screen. Relief! All results came back normal. Till next time!

P.S. Correction on hubby’s previous post, the next appointment is at 19.5 weeks, on April 10th. It will be the 3D ultrasound in which we will find out the sex of the baby. This time Doc assured me we’d find out!
