17 weeks update

I am 17 weeks. Wow the time has passed so fast. My goal is to put up pictures tonight or tomorrow. I am definatly growing. The baby bump gets harder all the time. Its really cool to see it grow. I'm trying to put coco butter on everynight. Its difficult to remember. I just need to gett in the habbit. Its so awesome cause now it feels real that I am pregnant cause I can actually see it growing. I have still been really tired and have a lot on my plate. I gain an inch a week around my waist. Right now I am 43 in around and I started out at 39. I have only gained 2 and a half pounds since I weighed myself last. I love it when Ben kisses and talks to the baby. My abs still hurt all the time. Its hard to get comfortable in chairs. I start to cramp up and my back hurts. The baby is kicking alot and it feels stronger everyday. It feels like someone is poking me. I smile everytime I feel it cause I know that it is doing well and growing. Only 3 weeks till we will know what we are having and be able to call it by name, only in private, since we aren't telling anyone the name. It will be hard to keep that secret but I think it will be a good surprise. I'll hopefully be able to put pictures up soon.
