17 Weeks

I feel like I’m so far along… but still so far to go…

The great: I have flutters right now! Woo-hoo!!

The bad: I’ve been waking up on my back lately. I’m usually a side sleeper, so I think this is weird. But it’s SO comfortable. I always try to at least prop myself (on poor M) so I won’t be flat on my back. I think everything will be fine. Everything I hear tells me that my body will wake me up if I cut off any circulation. My favorite thing was from a doctor that said women would have evolved to have a hump in their backs if you really couldn’t sleep on your back during pregnancy (I think I heard that in a podcast).

The ugly: My preggo hormones weren’t too crazy for a while. But now I get agitated and cranky. That’s happening more and more. The only way to make me feel less agitated is to make M agitated (which is fun). Then I feel better and he’s all mad because I pinched him. Get used to it, buddy. Also, the zits are getting worse. I look awesome. At least I know more about concealer than I did when I was 15.

Normal life: We decorated the Christmas tree last night. I love it! I tried not to think about taking the tree down last year when I kept telling M about how great Christmas 2009 would be with a little baby. We didn’t even say the B word last night. But I did hope about Christmas 2010. I hoped very quietly that we’ll be putting up baby’s 1st Christmas ornaments next year. I hope, I hope, I hope!!!!

I put up the ticker because everyone else did and I felt left out. So frickin cute.
