17 weeks

as i type this i am really 19 weeks
but im so behind on life and i am totally fine with that

so i look completely different than this photo below at a little over 17 weeks.

and we didnt even take an 18 week shot because ...well i dont know and i am fine with that too

we did a side by side comparison of photos and you can clearly tell i am popping out earlier this pregnancy. pretty typical fine by me. strangely i weight less. at my almost 18 week appointment i had gained 3 lbs. not bad for 18 weeks. i looked back to my post here: http://theschreibmansshare.blogspot.com/2008/12/soccer-player-or-dancer.html

and i had gained 4 lbs so i think i am doing great so far for not working out 5 day a week like i did pre-asher. le sigh. i still go to the gym about 3 days a week. im lucky if i get 30 minutes on the elliptical on my lunch hour. ill take what i can get. it makes me feel so much better in general.

look at that cute little pooch. clearly you cant really tell im pregnant.

now i just look like i gained too much weight in my midsection.

these first few weeks always look so silly and akward.

im sure next week i will be looking like a full fledged pregnant woman.

bring it on. pictures forth coming for sure. i embrace the belly

im loving this. i felt kicks as early as 16 1/2 weeks on our cruise. with one big karate chop. yikes

now i consistently feel them as if its little pops of air or gas in bubbling in my tummy.

love love love it.
