Belly Bump - 17 Weeks

Baby: Officially in to the 2nd trimester! Baby Seger is now approximately the size of my hand spread open from crown to rump. Fat begins to form in the baby this week which is important to the body's  heat production and metabolism. He or she is moving around just enough for me to start feeling little wiggles inside! The first few times, I wasn't sure what the strange sensation was that I was feeling was, but after a few wiggles everyday I am decided that Baby Seger is having a dance party in there.
Dad: A big help in "nesting!" Cutting and setting up our Christmas tree, sealing the grout in our newly re-constructed bathroom, and other helpful chores around the house. Bryce will be such an attentive and patient father...just like he is as a husband!
Mom:  I'm feeling great, and SO anxious to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. We will wait until I'm between 18-20 weeks to find out ~ a change in doctor appointments leaves us unsure of the exact date that we'll know. I'm spacey and forgetful as ever! Such an adjustment from my normal organized self. Oh well!
