So at only 17 weeks and 5 days (i.e. last Friday), I heard my wee girl's heartbeat with my fetoscope (a stethoscope meant for listening to fetuses). Normally, you can only start hearing with that around 20-weeks, so I got to hear her a few weeks early. I became a pro with the fetoscope when I was pregnant with Isabel ;)
She is moving and shaking all the time. I have felt a few little movements on the outside (usually when I am harassing her with the fetoscope), but nothing significant enough for Dave to feel. Also, I have definitely popped this week. I went from being able to wear relatively normal clothes and actually looking completely unpregnant one morning early this week to being well-ensconced in the world of maternity clothes over the last couple of days.
I have oodles of appointments this month. I see my family doctor on Tuesday, the perinatologist on Wednesday for my 19-week ultrasound and my first appointment with my OB is in two weeks' time. Add in the fact that work is really kicking into gear, we are still unpacking AND I am heading to Ontario next weekend with my mom for my grandfather's memorial and it is a very busy month. I hope to get to update again soon.
