I am 17 weeks 3 days pregnant today and this morning weighed 161.8lbs
This morning I felt the first tiny thump outside of my tummy! I was laying in bed with my hand over my tummy and I felt a distinct little thump on my hand. I was wondering when it would happen! I know by 19 weeks my husband was feeling my oldest son from the outside so I figured it had to be happening soon! The past two days Ive really been able to feel the baby moving and kicking in there when I sit or lay still and relax. Im so excited about my ultrasound on monday. Here it is Friday already! I have been trying to stay well hydrated because that helps get good images and its best for the baby anyway. Im drinking a ton but still thirsty and my skin is fairly dry. I was blessed with great skin but unfortunatly pregnancy is taking its tole on it.
I started my 17 week training plan for a half marathon last night. It went well. Its nice to have a plan to follow. Im not great at working out if I don’t have a goal to work towards. And for me it has to be a physical goal- something I can see on a calendar or a scale. Being pregnant obviously weight loss is not my goal. This will help me keep focused and it will keep me in great shape and ready for labour.
