17 Weeks

16 Weeks (Four months)
As the title says, I am now 17 weeks pregnant, or just a little over four months. Our baby is the size of an onion! I had an appointment this past week and our little one has a nice strong heartbeat. More exciting, I now get to set up my 20 week (halfway!) appointment, where they will do an in-depth ultrasound to check our baby's anatomy and make sure everything looks right. I'm so excited to see our baby again!

Also, I felt my first movement this weekend! We were driving home from Logan and I felt a funny little feeling from the inside, like our baby was shifting position and her body was rubbing against my tummy. Then, later that night, I felt a series of distinct little pokes, always in sets of two, like one foot, then the other. On Sunday I felt the same pokes in the same part of my tummy, which just confirmed it for me. It's so exciting to have this tangible proof of our little girl!
