17 weeks!

Turnips!

I missed a week, but we are all doing well. This week's doctor appointment was great, especially because my blood pressure really dropped! Last appointment it was 142/76... This time, 118/72. If it goes much lower, she'll have to take me off of the BP pills... During pregnancy blood pressure has a natural tendency to raise in the first trimester, lower in the second, and then raise again in the third. If she does take me off of the pills, I may have to go back on them, later... but as long as everyone's healthy, I'm okay with that :)

I'm feeling the babies a little more this week, but still not often. It's mainly when I'm laying quietly.

Our anatomy scan is July 2. It'll be an hour and a half to two hours of uninterrupted staring at baby time :)

Speaking of anatomy... we saw a lot of anatomy this week! The tech wouldn't take incriminating photos because it's not our anatomy scan, and basically told us she's officially 80% sure, but unofficially... "90%, no, 100% sure." yay!
