OK, so here I am at week 17. Dave used some photo techniques in the first picture to make me look larger than I really am. The second picture is more acurate to my size. I wish that I was a little larger than I am because this past week many ladies made comments that I looked about 12 weeks pregnant. Though I should have taken it as a compliment, two things ran through my head. 1-There is something wrong with Cubby, the little one must not be growing properly, etc. 2-I am not as far along as they told me and I am going to have to repeat weeks 13-17. Neither option sounded appropriate to me. I did, however, have my 17 week appt on Thursday and both Dave and I were able to see our healthy little Cubby moving around in my tummy. Now I am just thankful that I am small, but know that the days of becoming large are around the corner.
My major accomplishment for this week has been keeping down the vitamins 3 days in a row! I am hoping my next major accomplishment will be to keep enough down to actually gain a few pounds! All in due time I know.
Wow Ami! I can't believe it's really happening. You are beautiful of course and I know this sounds cliche but Cubby is so blessed to have you and Dave as parents!!
ReplyDeleteA picture! Yea! You are so beautiful! You are loving this, I'm sure. Don't worry, you'll get big, REALLY big and then you'll swear your clothes have shrunk! That's exactly what I thought during my last month but really, my thighs were increasing with my nightly dish of ice cream. By the way, I'm a firm believer in daily ice cream for calcium and to aid in lactation. So as long as you're pregnant or breast-feeding, you must indulge, daily.
