13-6-2009 - 17 Weeks Pregnant

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

The 17th week of pregnancy is a comfortable time as the body has adjusted to the growing changes in the body. This is the time when you can develop rashes or allergies which tend to flare up with a change in diet or medical prescription. You can check with your medical practitioner before taking any medications to heal the rashes or whether you need to stop any medications that you are having presently. You might start noticing your baby’s movements at this stage or after the next few weeks for sure. Queer movements such as bubbles, twitches or butterflies might be experienced by you at this stage indicating the baby’s movements. Change positions while standing, sitting or sleeping to avoid discomfort and cramps. You might feel lightheaded, dizzy or faint especially if you are prone to low blood pressure and you need to lie down and elevate your feet with the support of pillows. Munching in between meals on healthy snacks like dry fruits, fresh fruit or juice might help. All women might not experience this and some women might even be feeling much better and energetic at this stage of pregnancy.

Things are going well this week. We made about $250.00 in our sale. We were able to buy you a fisher price swing, bouncy seat, and floor toy with our profits. We also were able to stock up on Pamper Swaddlers. Those are the diapers that mommy wants to use. I found a crib on ebay. I ordered it and it will be hear near the end of June. We are awaiting the 20 week ultrasound so we can find out what gender you are. Happily it doesn't matter to mommy or daddy but daddy has this joke that if it's a girl and she smarts off he will burn her Barbies.
