Weeks 16-17

Hello! Not very many updates, except that I'm getting bigger every day. I did put on two of my old pairs of jeans, and I can still pull them all the way up, so that's good news! I didn't even have to jump or dance around to pull them up, either, so I'm feeling pretty slim right now :)

On another note, we decided not to buy the house (in post Week 15) to put the baby in, which means we're still looking. We found one we liked the other day...too bad we can see the Dollar General from the front porch!

The appointment on the 9th went fine- they took my blood, but I didn't make a big deal out of it. And, I got the smoothie, which was a plus! I go back on the 27th for the gender-diagnostic sonogram, and the technician is going to write down the baby's sex and seal it up in an envelope for me, and we'll open it together when Chris gets back from Coachella (below) on the 30th. For all you people who think I can't keep from opening the envelope...watch this. Well, don't really watch. You won't see much. You'll see me NOT opening an envelope, that's for sure!!



That's all there is to report for right now! Week 18 is coming up on Friday, but there may not be another post until after the sonogram on the 27th. Or until I do the Drain-o test, which my mom keeps telling me to do. I'm supposed to pour Drain-o crystals into a container and then potty into the crystals. Apparently, if it ends up blue it's a boy, and green it's a girl. No, thanks. I don't like tests that involve mixing Drain-o with...anything, really. But we'll see! If I do the test, I'll let you know!
