Week 17 - The Obstacles & an Onion

Let me just start by saying this last week has been a struggle, already.  Jay and I are apparently in a competition - Who can visit the most doctors in a 30 day time span.  Now, I would have a leg up because I have to visit the OB once a month, however I would prefer that Jay stop trying to win (and I'm sure our checking account would prefer that, as well).  In the last month we have, between the two of us:  6 visits to the Dentist, 1 trip to the ER, 1 trip to Urgent Care, 1 trip to the Eye Doctor, and 1 visit to the OB.  (And 5 of those have happened just in the last week)  That honestly is more visits to medical facilities than I have had in the last 5 years, combined.  At this point I'm at the "something has to give" point.  Enough is enough.  I can handle the OB, but this other stuff has to go.

Ok, on to more exciting baby items.  We have narrowed our name list down to 2 girls, 1 boy.  I don't know why the girl side is such a struggle for us.  We had our boy name figured out after like 10 minutes of searching.   Girls on the other hand, I have looked through approximately 4,000 names.  Not that I don't like the ones we have on our list, I just keep looking, maybe because I'm hoping one will come to us as easy as it did for the boy name. 

With that said, 14 more days and we will hopefully know if we have a lil lady or lil man.  We have decided how we are going to share our gender news!  So excited to do that, I think it will be really fun for everyone. 

Other than that, I haven't felt any kicks yet, but I'm told they are coming :)  No real change in mood or how I'm feeling, still feeling pretty good.  I haven't got to the "I feel huge" stage yet.   My OB thinks that at week 21 I will see a growth spurt. We will see if she's right :)  And, actually I have only gained about 4-5 lbs.  I'm surprised it's not more, considering I couldn't workout for like six weeks.  But like I said, feeling a lot better lately.  I was able to workout yesterday for 30 minutes, and hopefully can make it a couple more times this week.

Other than that, I have some wedding cupcakes to make for this weekend, and some of our friends are getting hitched.  So it should be fun to celebrate with them! 

Here is my 17 week photo!
