17 weeks minus 1 day

Today we went to the doctor...Kevin got to come too since he was off work. The heartbeat was 150, which is right on track. We go back December 9th and at that time we will hopefully find out if it is a girl or a boy. What a great early Christmas present!!! My blood pressure was a little high 135/82...which is normal for me but high when you are expecting. It has been about that everytime I have gone. The doctor isn't concerned right now, but she wants me to start taking it at home everyday and keeping track. She said if it ever gets to 150/90 to call immediately. She also said that if it stays high into the 3rd trimester, she might put me on something cause that may not be good. So I will begin monitoring it and keeping a close eye on it!

And now an updated survey. . .

Total weight gain: 5 pounds

Stretch marks: none

Sleep: for the most part I sleep, but I wake up about 4 times a night. No midnight bathroom trips yet!

Best moment of the week: Hearing the baby's heartbeat. Its always good to hear that and now that things are ok!

Movement: I think I might have felt a "flutter" or two but I am not positive. Hopefully I will feel more soon!

Food craving: Milk...weird...very weird

Belly button: it is definately not an innie like it used to be...but its not out completely

What I miss: Having energy. I feel like I get tired so easily!

What I am looking forward to: Finding out the sex and beginning to register!
