I honestly cannot believe how time is suddenly flying past, when in the beginning it felt like it was barely moving at all.
I'm still feeling really good & I'm so grateful for that. I see the doctor again tomorrow morning & I'll bring Stella with me to listen to the heartbeat for the first time, so that should be fun:) Its a real bummer that the hospital won't allow any kids under 7 into the perinatal testing center because she was reaaally excited to come with us for my 20 week ultrasound. So, I figured, bringing her to this was at least a little bit like a consolation prize;) I won't be seeing Dr. Heinzel tomorrow, as they wanted me to meet the new doctor at the practice since I never have...so hopefully I'll like her just (or almost) as much.
I've been feeling random flutters here & there the last week or 2 but there was one particular day last week, not long after I treated myself to a small Starbucks (non-decaf) iced coffee where (s)he went totally absolute bananas in there for a little while......lol. It was pretty hilarious & actually kind of awesome though because RJ was able to feel the movements too without much effort at all & that was a first for that this time around! It wasn't until much later with Stella that he was able to feel her but they told me that was because my placenta was "anterior" with her so it kind of served as a big cushion between her & me throughout the pregnancy. I'd have to check the other blog to be absolutely certain but I think I was about 23 weeks before we really felt her movements......so this, at 17 weeks, was kind of unexpected but totally awesome & welcome nevertheless:)
This was my 17-week photo. My plan is to start to have RJ snap one of me every Tuesday, to document the start of a new week of the pregnancy. I really should have started weeks ago.....but hey, better late than never, right? Plus I do have a handful of ones in the earlier weeks that Stella shot for me or that I shot myself:)
