17 weeks

Had another appointment today. Saw Kate.

Up another couple of pounds putting me at 139#. The baby's heartrate was 150's again. Pretty constant in the 150's range. Talked about the flu shot today. I will be getting the seasonal flu shot. I will not be getting the H1N1 when it comes out. Way too new and I don't want to be their guinea pig. No.Thank.You.

I started craving cereal again - this was my downfall last time ... and this week I stocked up! Got 23 boxes of cereal for a total of $8.80...and it's yummy stuff... honey nut cheerios, cinnamon toast crunch, kix, kashi honey sunshine, rice krispies etc... should be good for ...oh, about 23 days now! ha! I ate 3 bowls today... eek! I see 52# coming again... (and tomorrow I'm picking up 5 more boxes before the great sale goes off!)

Feeling baby move all.the.time now. I love the little flutters :) They make me smile.

Laura knows where "baby" is - she points to my tummy when asked. Sometimes she misses the mark and points to my thigh or my boob, but she gets the general idea!

When I ask her if she wants a baby brother or a baby sister - she indicates both. ... there is only one in there though, so we'll see ... in just 18 days! I put up a poll on the right hand side if anyone wants to take guesses :)

(I have taken pictures each week ...except this week!) ... haven't posted though because my computer is bogged down from having so much on it since we lost our external hard drive. I'm in the process of going through and deleting the terrible pictures I'll never print to free up space - then I'll dump stuff to flash drives - then be able to upload the newer stuff.

cereal is not going to make you fat girl, Mcdonalds and milky way candy bars will (my cravings!).

Luckilly for me, my baby was almost 10 pounds, so not quite so much to lose.
