17 weeks and Counting

I feel like this picture makes me look huge - I am showing but am not huge...just to clear that up :)! Things are going very well. I am still feeling wonderful. I had a Doctor's appointment this past week. The baby's heart rate was 154 and Dr. M said he felt like things were going great! I started feeling the baby move consistently at 16 weeks (Rhonald still isn't able to feel very much yet) and everyday those movements get stronger. I love feeling those little kicks and punches...it is so reassuring. Cole is still very excited about becoming a big brother. I cannot wait to find out if our sweet one is a boy or girl so we can prepare him a little bit more. We scheduled our ultrasound for May 21st ... just 3 weeks from now. I have said it before and it really is true...I cannot believe how fast time is flying by with this pregnancy. We have been receiving lots of birth announcements in the mail lately from friends and family and every time I see a picture of a tiny baby I get even more excited to hold my own! 23 more weeks....
