Week 17

Well, feeling much much better it seems. I wasn't anemic/iron deficient after all, just tired from growing a life! Unfortunately, I am dealing with the return of heartburn, really bad heartburn, at night and might have to cut back on my mexican food cravings :( Part of my right side is also numb, assuming that's from stretching nerves, oh yea! It does seem like my appetite is under a little more control for now, we'll see how that changes. In other news, I had a normal doctor visit this week, and the babies heart beat sounded more like a little drummer at work then the galloping horses from weeks past. I think I've been feeling little flutterings from baby B, it doesn't feel like digestion so looking forward to them getting stronger and more regular. My stomach is at a funny stage. During weeks 12-14 it was a pretty defined, round, pouch in my lower abdomen but now it's spreading out more as it grows, but not rounding out as much just yet and looks different every day, and through out the day. I am also looking forward to seeing how I "carry." Mo is getting so excited and talks to the baby all the time and rubs the belly in circular motions. We read on an update newsletter that these motions are very soothing... These ramblings feel a little self-centered but we'll appreciate looking back on the memories I am sure.
