17 Weeks

I am feeling like I am making some progress in my pregnancy. I actually can't believe that I almost 4 1/2 months pregnant. It seems like I am watching the days to when I get to a certain point and then all of sudden I am here. Amazing how fast the time goes by.

New Symptoms:
*backache
*trouble sleeping

My back is hurts a lot more this week. It may be due to moving and trying to help Katelyn. I am trying to take it as easy as possible, but I can't have Matt do all the work in the moving process. I am in charge of packing and he is in charge of loading and unloading:) Plus isn't that why I got married so that someone could do the heavy work for me? Just kidding!
More trouble sleeping. I think part of it is that the baby moves more towards the end of the night. It isn't bothersome yet, but it is so neat that it makes me become wide awake. I have been good at sleeping on my left side.
This week I have had an awful cold. It started on Sunday evening with a sore throat and only progressed from there on. I can't breath because my nose is plugged. It moved into my head and then into my chest. I was coughing hard and stuff up. After being stubborn and my Matt and my mom convincing me..I called the doctor. He had me come in just to make sure that it wasn't the start of bronchitis. Good news was that it wasn't and he prescribed some antibiotics that he said were safe. I started those Sunday and the first dose made me a little sick, but I am definitely feeling a lot better. I am still a little plugged up, but nothing major.
I have also had a huge self image problem this week. I really didn't want to go the wedding on Saturday because I just felt fat and frumpy. It was awful and it made me grumpy for a half hour or so. Matt thinks that I look great and sexy. I am like do you see the same thing I do? Hopefully I get over it!
Yay for me I also took a picture this week! I bought this shirt at JcPenny's in Boise at the mall. I love it. I wore it to church with a pair of white capri's..super cute. I just realized that I look like a chipmunk in this picture!
Lucky for me I got a new bag of maternity clothes from my Aunt Donna! New capri's and shirts. So thankful for her!
