The 17 Week Update

Baby and I (Baby is now the size of an onion this week) are doing very well. At our doctor's appointment this week, the doctor described "it" as being a "happy little thing" with a "happy heartbeat." I think Baby Onion is very much enjoying all the tea, Pop Tarts, and Ranch dressing that I've been feeding it. I think it also enjoys the yoga--I imagine it doing flips and turns and giggling as I do each pose. And when Greg talks to it, I think it enjoys that as well. :o)

The good news is that I no longer feel fat--I actually feel pregnant! My belly has hardened and "popped" in the last week or so, so enjoy the photo below. It was taken after a hot yoga class I actually took last night (with Sheila, who was hOMe visiting from Jamaica; she kicked not only my butt, but the baby's butt, too), thus the sweaty mess. :o) Oh, and it's in the baby's room. I purposely painted it a happy gender neutral color last spring when we got to that room. :o) 

And now...stay tuned until April 6th! That's when we find out what "it" is. :o) Until then, I'll be debuting the bump in my stylish maternity swimsuit in Florida later this week. Stylish? Yeah, we'll see how that works. :o) Don't expect too many photos of that. :o)
