17 weeks...

There really isn't much to write this week. Our next Dr's appt is tomorrow and we'll get to schedule our first sonogram so we can find out the sex of our baby!! :) Oh and so we can make sure things are OK in there. :) My sister-in-law and I were talking last nite about how excited we are to find out the sex of the baby just so we can start shopping!!

I have a new physical ailment - I think I have a pinched nerve around my tail bone! It is SO painful!! I can't lay on our bed - every time I do I'm crippled for a few hours after! I slept on the couch last nite just because the thought of crawling out of that bed scared me!! It feels good to sit in our computer chair or sit straight up in our recliner. I think I'll go get a heating pad today. I want to talk to the Dr. tomorrow but I don't want him to say, "Yeah that kind of stuff happens when your pregnant," and send me on my merry way! (Like they did when I had the stomach virus!) I feel OK as long as I'm active like throughout the day, but at nite when I relax on the couch it gets really bad! I'm not sure I've ever had a back pain like that before!

My girlfriend and I went to the zoo Tuesday - it was SO beautiful!! All the animals were out! We were both grateful we're past our nauseous stages when we entered the smelly penguin habitat! It was a great day! Beautiful, sunny, warm, breezy...

I'm going shopping today just to see if I can find anything. I'm not a big shopper but I feel like getting out of the house - and walking helps my back. Maybe I'll find something cute. Also need to go grocery shopping for Easter. Must get an iced tea first tho! :)

Haven't read the next chapter in "my book" yet - might start that today as well.

Since I don't feel I have much to say I'm gonna wrap this up. Will write more when something exciting happens.
