17 weeks!

So here I am at 17 weeks (You can see Sashi in the forefront; she is very interested in baby already)! I think you can really see a difference from last week. I had my third prenatal appointment this week and everything seems to be progressing well. According to babycenter.com, the baby is the size of a turnip.

I think I did hit a milestone this week: I had two people ask me if I was pregnant! Thank goodness, I am starting to look the part!

Although the morning sickness has subsided, I have continued to experience significant fatigue. I have been trying to do my prenatal yoga and pilates videos, but am embarrassed to say that I have been sleeping (and eating) far more than exercising. I have gotten some very simple, but wise (and reassuring) advice regarding this issue: "Listen to your body. If you are hungry, eat. If you are tired, rest. And don't feel guilty about it". I have embraced this concept for sure! We did have some warm weather a few weeks ago and a friend at work and I would go walking at lunchtime, but recently it has been too cold. I am hoping the spring weather will motivate to to get out and walk again.

Work on the sun room/future office is progressing as well. The carpet is in and we hope to start moving the furniture out there in the next few days. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion!
