1.) How many weeks? 17 weeks (time is flying)

2.) How big is baby? pomegranate 

3.) Boy/Girl/Green? GIRL

4.) How are you feeling? Had a rough week, but feeling better ( will explain in rants). I definitely felt baby move this morning after breakfast. It was unmistakable. Very cool. 

5.) Any appointments this week? I had my early Anatomy Scan on Wednesday. Baby is so developed, with the cutest little hands and feet. So fun to see.

6.) Rants/Raves: Okay, so the day after my ultrasound, I had some cramping which was accompanied with some spotting. I haven't had any bleeding at all thus far so this really scared me being almost 5 months preggers. I went to the hospital as instructed by my doctor. By the time i got there I had stopped bleeding, and they couldn't find the source, but little baby was just fine kicking and swimming and moving so much. Heart beat was 150 and i was released with the instruction to be on bed rest for a minimum of 2 days. They think i may have had some trauma form my ultrasound as the tech wasn't all that gentle. They had go in transvaginally b/c baby was sitting so low. She was pretty rough, and it was quite uncomfortable, but the cramping and bleeding took almost 24 hours to appear. Definitely scary but glad everything is okay. 

7.) Questions?? Anyone think they're feeling baby move yet???

8.) GTKY: Tell us what your favorite summer activity is! Swimming... definitely swimming. I was a fish in my former life. I would live in the water if i could!

1.) How many weeks? 17 -- Holy moly! 
2.) How big is baby? My app says the size of a PS4 remote lol. I'll go with that! 
3.) Boy/Girl/Green? Going to find out May 15th! 
4.) How are you feeling? Pregnancy wise-- great! I have an annoying cough though, so that's no fun. 
5.) Any appointments this week? None this coming week, but I had one Thursday. My OB requires us to see all the doctors in the office throughout pregnancy, so I'll know them all. I saw the only female OB in the group this week and she was great. Found baby's heartbeat right away and it was around 155-158. My thyroid levels were good, blood pressure was good, and I hadn't gained weight since last month's appointment (I started out overweight, so that's a good thing haha). It was a great appointment, so I had to rave about it a little . Maybe I should have saved that for the next question ! 
6.) Rants/Raves Why doesn't my daughter like food?! She isn't picky, she just thinks sitting down and eating is a chore and she will sit there and complain the entire time...even if she likes what we are eating. She's 3 1/2, I'm sure it's just her age/a phase, but it is super frustrating. Thankfully she won't have an actual meal at Pre-K this year, since it's half days. She will only have snack. She is going to have to learn to eat faster before Kindergarten. 
7.) Questions?? @emwj10187 I **think** I feel flutters occasionally. I'm so excited that we aren't far away from lots of movement! I can't wait. It's my favorite part! The movement never annoyed me at all, even with it woke me up with DD. When the doctor asked me if I'd felt movement yet, I told her I thought so, but joked it could have been gas. She must not me a joking person, because she didn't laugh haha.
8.) GTKY: Tell us what your favorite summer activity is! I'd say swimming, but mainly just relaxing in the pool haha. It's more floating than anything. I can't really enjoy it in a public pool though (they gross me out lol). We are going home to visit for two weeks at the end of next month and my mom has a pool. I'm thinking if people want to see us, they many just have to come swim! Haha.

2.) How big is baby? Avocado
3.) Boy/Girl/Green? Don't know yet...will find out May 18th!
4.) How are you feeling? Very good. Just got back from a great vacation in Florida. I had a couple of brown spotting episodes but suspect it was due to an increase in activity (for those of you who don't know, I have an SCH). Not worried and haven't had any spotting for a few days now.
5.) Any appointments this week? Not this week
6.) Rants/Raves Rant: I wish I looked more pregnant right now lol. If you know me it's more obvious, but if you don't, it still looks like I've just been overdoing it on the donuts.
7.) Questions?? @emwj10187 I am also glad everything is okay...I know how scary bleeding can be unfortunately. And yes, I am almost positive I am feeling flutters. Usually happens after dinner or at night. It's such a cool feeling!
8.) GTKY: Tell us what your favorite summer activity is! Just being outside in general, but definitely swimming and hiking. Also, going on ice cream runs (though I do that all year haha).
