17 weeks

OK. First off, feeling Turtle kick on his/her very own for the first time THIS VERY SECOND!! Oh my goodness how exciting! So today Turtle is 17 weeks (in the tummy). Turtle's cartilage is changing to bone, is about 5 ounces and is about 5 inches long :) Turtle is the size of a large onion today.

And my belly is beginning to get larger and evidently it is beginning to become a bit more obvious. A client at the Center yesterday asked,
"Are you pregnant?"
".......is it showing?"
"Yes, a bit."
"So it begins, yes I am."
No more hiding it from the world. Not that I was hiding it, but I told who I wanted to know and let everyone else just figure it out for themselves. So if I told you, feel loved <3 It will be harder to hide now, although the cooling of the weather calls for sweats and hoodies so I can cover it a bit and be much more comfortable. I am not excited about people touching the tummy, and it is happening more and more now. I have decided when someone rubs my tummy I am just going to be forced to rub their tummies back. Logical solution, right? Thought so.
