17 weeks...

I am officially 17 weeks today. Time seems to be flying by.
I've definitely started to notice this baby bump. It's getting harder and sticks out a lot more and it all seemed to have happened this past week. I have not given in to maternity pants yet, I just bought jeans in a bigger size. I know i'll get there eventually but for now it's the old navy sale rack for this chickie :) I think I only see the tips of  my shoes now and speaking of shoes, It's getting harder to tie them up without this kid having something to say about it.
I've also noticed that it does NOT like flying and quick changes in altitude. Montreal is an island with a big mountain in the middle. Driving up and down steep hills was not agreeing with baby. Every time we dropped it felt like baby was kicking me in the throat and then my bladder. This kid is a true prairie kid. Flat plains only please.
Im starting to feel alot of "quickening" which is basically the baby's way of telling me that its getting ready to kick! If you press on my belly you can feel pulsing, digesting and blood pumping to the baby...weird. And now the cravings have officially kicked in. Apparently I had a very intense lasagna craving and now I want gelati.

So that where I leave it tonight, dragging the husband out so I can get gelati. :)
