17 Weeks

I went to the doctor today. The baby's heartbeat was great (and easily found this time. Praise the Lord!!). I had put on some weight. That wasn't too surprising for a couple of reasons: (1) I am not feeling sick anymore. So now I eat and eat and eat.... (2) This last weekend I consumed a lot of sweets and the like. Hopefully I will curb that a little.

I also have purchased some maternity clothes. If you could see all the clothes that I have, you would ask why I am buying more. I do have an answer for that. My sisters had babies in July, August, March, April, and October. So a lot of their summer clothes are bigger than I am. I will need those later in the summer or early fall, but right now, it is just not working for me. So I have purchased some shorts and a couple of shirts and a couple of outfits that have capri pants. I bought a little big so that I can "grow" into them this summer. I am actually still wearing regular clothes, but they are proving to be a little tight - especially by the end of the day. I am going to Washington, DC in a couple of weeks and I wanted to be able to have some comfortable clothes for my journey. I now believe I am set.

The ultrasound and my next appointment are scheduled for the 28th. So 25 days and counting until we see Baby Mills. I am very excited :).
