17 weeks today!!!

Before I go into detail - I had my update more or less finished when dinner was ready so thought it would be ok but 15 mins later when I came back it was all gone after the computer did an automatic update! Grrrr I knew I should have saved it as a draft before but oh well lesson learnt I guess.

Yeap like Carla I have made it to 17 weeks! :) So exciting yet so scary as well... well for me anyway :) I have my scan booked for the 17th June so only 17 days to go but I have already mentioned that to you guys so don't want to bore you will with that countdown! LOL

And as requested by a few of you, I have gotten Steph to take some photos of me tonight and as it took me so long in my previous post (which I lost) to get the photos in the right place I will just post this lot at the end of tonights entry. I am still "shy" about posting the bump photo but I guess it had to be done sooner or later. Don't think the top I was wearing today did much for me but too late now :) Oh there is also a photo of the bouncer we got off TradeMe a week or so ago and also a photo of all the baby stuff we have so far - well the containers of the baby stuff anyway. And great news - a very dear friend of mine has offered me her bassinet she had for her boys as a gift from her and her family to me and my family! This offer has really blown me away and reduced me to tears even - gees those god damn pregnancy hormones! LOL We will get it from them later on as they don't live in Wgtn so we are arranging to meet up to do the "exchange". I am so looking forward to that day already....

Work today was pretty full on as L was on leave and once I got my payslips out to my regions, I then tackled L's pile, and then went onto the bosses pile as he was not well and in and out of meetings... then after I got the whole damn countrys payslips I then started on getting my work and L's done as well... so as a "reward" I was allowed to finish at 3pm so that was great and well needed :)

Once I got home, I decided to see if Robyn at the gym was free for a chat... she was so I popped up to see her and had an awesome chat with her! She thinks I am glowing and looking fantastic but I beg to differ! LOL I have also booked in a 1/2 hr massage with the therapist there for 2pm on Friday (since I have the day off) so am looking forward to that.

So a quiet night home alone tonight watching Shorties, and just blobbing out.... right here are the photos before I go.

17 weeks.....that's getting SO close to half way! Wooohooo!

You look great, that's a very cute bump (and I'm not going to be one of those annoying people who tells you you look like you're carrying a boy or a girl!....Although I have my suspicions....LOL!)

So sweet of your friend to give you a bassinette...wait 'til you see it all set up in Bub's room...
...THEN you'll be crying! :o)


ps...I was joking about suspicions (It's terrible when people try and guess!)

Anne said...

Who was the girl that didn't feel she had that 'glow' yet! You do!

You also said you felt you looked fat - not pregnant - you definately have a baby bump!!

17 weeks - that's great

Sue said...

That's a fabulous bump photo! I know you're having your emotional ups and downs, but overall you sound so happy and positive - it really gives me a nice warm feeling.

Rachel said...
