17 weeks!!

Today I am 17 weeks!! Baby is about the size/weight of a turnip!!

Don't think I've ever had a turnip before. Is it a fruit? Is it a vegetable??

I've read that I could start feeling movement. And I've read up on what to pay attention to. The feeling of a goldfish swimming in my stomach, or popcorn popping or a butterflies feeling. I'm not really sure if I've felt any of these things yet. But I also read it's hard for people to recognize the movement if this is their first baby. I can't wait to actually feel little kicks!!

Have a great weekend everybody!

With my daughter I didn't feel anything until I was about 22-23 weeks along. And even then it wasn't strong or all that often. I have heard many people say that when they go for the "BIG" u/s and see the baby move it helps them to realize what they have been feeling. That wasn't true for me. I am sooooooo excited to hear what you are having!!! Have you done the Chinese Gender Chart??? It was right for both of my kids!!!

Don't worry if you don't feel movement for awhile. I didn't feel anything with my twins until 18 weeks and nothing real regular that I KNEW was them until closer to 20-21 weeks!

Like others have said don't worry if you aren't feeling anything. I didn't feel anything that I was SURE of until I was well past my 20 week appt (I think I was about 24 weeks)and even then it was rare, I had to go in for weekly fetal monitoring cause I never felt her as often as the books said I should...I had an anterior placenta though so that didn't help. It always makes me laugh cause Abbey is the kickingest baby I've ever seen...her legs just don't stop lol

A turnip is a veggies and they are very good! it seems to be one of those things people love or hate though?! LOL! I like them mashed! Good @ Thanksgiving and Christmas. :) As for feeling the baby, I started to feel him/her right before 17 weeks. I wasn't sure at first, but it keeps happening so I now know that is definitely what it is. When do you find out Dec. 2??? I have 4 days to go!! Soooo excited!

happy 17 weeks!!! I know I have gotten questioned as to if I have felt anything yet and I don;t think I have. But I'm like you.. I'm eager to start feeling something. I'm sure the first time I feel a kick, I will either ...

a) be freaked out!
b) start crying like a baby
c) think it's gas
d) all the above!

lol.. yay !! I can't wait for your "I FELT A KICK!" post!! =)
