I had a little scare Monday morning - I ran back into the house to grab something and my heel slid on the hardwoods. I wiped out! I landed hard on my knee (luckily not my belly!). I was worried about Sparky so I called the doctor, but because I wasn't spotting and my appointment was scheduled for the next day, I opted not to go in. I was a nervous Nelly for those 24 hours, but all is well!
During the ultrasound, Sparky was spread eagle for all to see, so the doctor was trying his best (and succeeding) in keeping our view away from the important part that we didn't want to see. But then, as he flipped the machine to 3D mode, we caught a very quick full frontal glimpse. Jason and I both think we saw a penis, but to our untrained eyes for that quick second, we really aren't sure. We're still operating under the assumption that baby's gender is a surprise, and we'll find out in September if we were right at 17 weeks.
Here's a belly picture at 17 weeks - getting big already!
Here was 17 weeks with Jack:
Quick update about me: I'm feeling almost back to normal these days. The nausea was not nearly as bad this time around, but lasted a bit longer (I was still feeling it a couple days a week at 15 weeks or so). I'm still pretty tired, but have gotten some of my energy back. Some nights I make it to my old bedtime (9:30 or 10:00 - I know, I'm a night owl!), but some nights I'm pooped and ready for bed as soon as Jack goes down at 8:00. I haven't really had many other symptoms yet, aside from my first bout with heartburn last night. I took 2 Tums and it quickly went away, so nothing to grouch about (yet!). Enjoying the 2nd trimester!!
