17 weeks

This week I officially felt the baby moving.  A couple of times in the recent weeks I thought maybe it was the baby but wasn't sure.  This week (around half way through 16 weeks) it was definitely baby fluttering around.  I only notice it when I am sitting quietly and am not too distracted to be aware.  I think that Dan is jealous that he can't feel the baby move yet.  ;)

Also people at work are starting to notice... they are asking my boss and the analyst that reports to me... it is weird. 

The baby stuff buying is slow but steady.  A couple of cute gray and white chevron and stripes onesies and diapers with celery dots.  Cloth diaper covers are so cute.

Still not a lot of crazy cravings.  I did want donuts which is unusual but otherwise just normal eating.  But I am pretty nuts about making sure there are enough fruits & veggies in my daily diet... more from a being healthy standpoint than a craving.

This week I commented to Dan about how much of a switch it is for me to be so absolutely diligent about taking my vitamins.  A couple years ago I couldn't stand taking vitamins (every kind upset my stomach).  Last winter I finally found a brand that I could take without side effects but still would forget often.  Now I never miss one.

Very glad that we are moving at this point in the pregnancy rather than if we had waited for March 31st.  My energy is really good and the belly isn't so big to make packing boxes uncomfortable.  Unpacking should be interesting since although the movers will get the boxes in it will be up to Dan to get the moved around to different floors as needed.

Also, we sent in a RSVP for a wedding in April - dancing should be interesting as I will be a good 6 months preggo at that time.
