week 17

Baby Isham is moving all over the place now. Pretty much any time I sit still I can feel the baby now and it is so awesome! The doctor assured me this week that what I had been feeling was in fact the baby and so my instinct was right :) Oh it just kicked as I type ha!

I am still feeling great and I really think it has a lot to do with all of the water I am drinking and that I am walking at night most every night. I have found that the walking gives me more energy and I really have had a lot of that recently. If I could ever get done with my sewing orders I think I may even want to go and clean out some closets. Ha who would have ever guessed that???

We are now at the 9 day countdown for the gender and of course are still eagerly awaiting to find out what the baby is! We hope to go shopping for a crib soon, as we already have our eye on a few. We have also picked out the bedding that we will use for either gender. I went to a class at Pottery Barn not to long ago and got some great ideas! No I don't plan to get everything from there since they are a bit out of our price range but they always have such cute ideas that I hope to find things similar to them elsewhere. The bedding for the boy is A to Z and the bedding for the girl is Penelope. I love the color schemes for both of those patterns and I cant wait to know so we can start getting some things :)

It is hard to believe that in just a few weeks we will be 1/2 there! I just cant wait to hold baby Isham in my arms!!! I love you so much already sweet child of mine!


Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.
