17 Week Appointment
We had our monthly doctor appointment yesterday and everything is right on track! They were very pleased with my lack of weight gain: ZERO LBS!!! I’m very pleased as well given the large amounts of french fries I ingest each week! They said that within the next month my body will really start changing and the weight will come out of nowhere – can’t wait.
He asked if I have felt the baby move and I told him I’m feeling something light but not quite sure if it’s the baby. The doctor said that is normal and that right now it’s like the baby is in a swimming pool – it can touch the edges if it wants but can also just hang out in the middle. Within the next 2-4 weeks it’ll be like an adult in the bathtub- touching the edges all the time with no where else to go!
I also mentioned that I’ve had some dizzy spells and he said that is very normal since my blood production hasn’t quite caught up with my enlarged blood vessels. It’s nice to know there’s nothing wacky going on in my head!
So far this has been my favorite doctor of the practice because he recommended flying instead of driving places, and that Brian and I plan a “babymoon” before the baby comes since our lives will never be the same…Mexico?
And finally, the date for my “Big Ultrasound” is Monday, December 22nd when we will be finding out the sex. It’ll be our own little Christmas gift to ourselves!

Baby Mac is thankful for any gift (item or food) that it receives! No cravings really but lots could change in a month!

I’m afraid that exotic Gainevsille, FL may end up being your “babymoon” location
That’s kinda like Mexico, right?
Are we allowed to get Christmas gifts for Baby Mac? Stocking stuffers at least? Can’t wait to see you in a few weeks!
If you have any “cravings” for funny foods… be sure to let us know and we’ll stock up before you come down
