17 weeks

I actually had to stop and think, "What week am I on?" I guess I have too many distractions going on with this exam (CAS #7). It will be over in 2 weeks though (until the next sitting).

So, pregnancy news? I'm not quite sure what to say. I have experienced some round ligament pains, maybe once or twice. My baby bump is obvious. I feel the baby quite a lot. Chris has felt him or her too. No good kicks or punches yet.

My appetite is slowly increasing. I'm making a list of new dish ideas to cook that will hopefully be healthier (and tastier)! Today I made "chickenish nuggets", a recipe given to me by a friend. It's basically chopped up leftovers - chicken, veggies, and couscous, rolled in breadcrumbs and milled flax seed. While I wasn't able to make them quite like they were supposed to be made, they still tasted okay- and were healthy! (Hadley loved them).

Sleeping is going okay. My energy level is good, but my exercise level is nonexistent until this exam is over :( Fortunately, I haven't had much weight gain!

Coming up: 20 week ultrasound, 28 week gestational diabetes test, 28 week rhogam shot... not sure what else! Just trying to stay virus free with all the stuff going around (swine flu, strep, etc...). Bring on May!
