Week 17; Big Ultrasound next Wednesday
Holy cow, 17 weeks already well really I’m 17weeks and 3 days. We are having our ultrasound to find out the sex and make sure the baby is all in good order on Wednesday the 16th. I am really hoping for a girl, but any baby is going to make me happy!
D had a wonderful time over the 4th catching frogs with my 4 year old nephew and so now he is not leaning one way or another on what he would like to have. I think for me a girl would be easier for a first, it means I don’t have to have the discussion with D about what I consider the importance of not circumcision your child. I also think they are easier to diaper and it would be nice to have a girl when we have so many little boys in my family.
Here is my 17 week picture I have gained 11 pounds since I started my pregnancy, and as long as I start to slow down the weight gain I should be ok. The first four months I had gained 3lbs and then in the following month I gained 8 lbs. Yes I did gain 8lbs in one month between June 11 and July 11. So I need to slow it down, I will be writing down what I eat calorie wise for a while and walking everyday for at least 45 minutes to help.
