17 weeks

I only know how far I am because I count it out every week to look up how big the baby is to tell the kids. And I am amazed at how fast it's all going!

The kids love hearing about "Baby." "Baby," incidentally, is the name that's going to stick around for a while since we will not be finding out gender this time around! Spencer just really doesn't like it when I manage to fit in "Nobody puts Baby in a corner" into conversation. I must admit, though, sometimes it is a real stretch.

I keep hearing that my belly is getting "really big" or "big and fat" (the latter from Lilia). Andy asks almost every day if Baby is pushing on my tummy yet. Not yet, I tell him. I've gotten to explain that my body just knows how to move all my organs around already to get ready for Baby to get bigger. I think everyone is getting really excited for when they will all be able to feel Baby move. Even Anne knows where to point when I ask her where Baby is.

And here we are. Turnip-sized Baby at 17 weeks and 1 day.
