my previous post about feeling the baby flutter in my tummy at 14 weeks was a hoax. i didn't end up feeling it again at all and it must have just been gas or something less exciting.
however,
at 17 weeks i have been feeling it move! and i am 100% convinced it is real this time. it feels like tiny bubbles. like a jacuzzi inside of me. its hard for me to feel it if i am busy or working, but if i be quiet and pay attention within a minute or two i can feel it again. its pretty neat!
i feel like i should be feeling full on kicks by now, just because i am so freaking large. i haven't put on any weight, but BOY am i ever putting on inches around my waist! its such an awkward stage to be at. if you didn't know that i was pregnant you would think i ate a gigantic turkey dinner a few minutes ago, or that i'm just a chub-ster. although i was quite the chub-ster before pregnancy, this is definitely new!
some people have asked me to start taking pictures of myself, but to them i say "no way in hell". maybe someday when this thickness makes a cute round basketball-esque bump. in the meantime, here is a self portrait of my mid-section to sate your appetites.
And one leg is thinner than the other. We are going to try swimming twice a week to correct my odd body shape.
