I dont know if i really felt the baby but if the books say it feels like butterflies in my stomach than i probably did. How exciting! =)

Just amazes me ^_^

So currently I'm reading this article here at - whattoexpect.com

How big is your baby at 17 weeks pregnant? About five inches long and more than three and a half ounces — the size of your open hand. (Open the other one too and imagine your baby cradled in both your arms right after delivery!) Body fat (baby's, that is) is beginning to form and will continue to accumulate through the end of your pregnancy. By the time your baby is born, body fat will make up about two-thirds of his or her weight (and will make all those chubby parts especially yummy). Your baby is almost certainly listening up by now. In fact, loud noises — the dog barking, the doorbell ringing — will actually startle your baby (and also get him or her used to such noises; for instance, fetuses who regularly hear a dog barking will become babies who sleep right through Fido's outbursts). Your baby's eyes (which have fortunately finished their migration to the front of his or her head) are making small side-to-side movements and can even perceive some light, though the eyelids are still sealed. And since practice makes perfect, your baby is sharpening his or her sucking and swallowing skills in preparation for that first (and second…and third) suckle at your breast or bottle. In fact, most of the survival reflexes that your baby will have at birth are being perfected in utero right now."

Isn't this awesome my baby can hear, is practicing swallowing, and is about 5 inches!!! I'm just excited. Hopefully this cold will go away soon though. =(

On the 27th!!

We will find out that it's a "Girl" hehe. Finally getting the ultra sound I believe, and hope and pray! We'll see. I'll be happy either way if he/she is a girl or boy, still will be my little Angel. Well gotta go to work, just wanted to share.

Hearing the baby's heartbeat!!!!!

On the 31st last month I finally got to hear this little creation that is getting developed inside of me. It was a very emotional time for both my boyfriend and I. We both took a moment and shed a tear, it was a beautiful moment. Hearing the heartbeat was an eyeopener aswell for us. Now we're getting more prepared with collecting items we're gonna need for when the baby is born, and I'm eating a little bit more healthier. We've recently picked up a couple of books aswell. We hope to be the best parents that we can be for our child, and we're sooooooooo nervous...@_@ I guess we'll see where this rollar coaster will take us soon enough ^_^
