Week 17 Photo

Overall Stacy's pregnancy has been really good -- I'd even be willing to say above average (although Stacy may disagree), We are nearly to the half-way point which is mixture of excitement and anxiety. I find myself working out the scenarios of "how would we handle this situation if we had two babies with us?" much more often then before. But all the anxiety pales in comparison to our desire to get to know these babies and see them with our own eyes and not on a sonogram.

Now 17 weeks into our pregnancy, Stacy is beginning to feel some of the discomforts that occur as her belly continues to grow -- namely a sore back! Trips to the store are becoming more focused and we can usually only fit one or two in a night (which has really been helping control spontaneous spending).

But the last two weeks haven't been all bad. Stacy thinks she experienced her first baby movements! Unfortunately for me it happened while Stacy was at work -- the little rascals have been elusive ever since. Of course, we should be careful what we wish for, soon enough in will be non-stop somersaults and abdomen acrobatics. Stacy will be wishing they came with an off switch!
