Figured I’d put this up here. Gina is now able to post up here, so maybe she’ll be providing updates directly in the future. Here it is:
Hello Ladies,
Well I’m getting ready to go to the prenatal massage Adam got me and I wanted to send you all a little update. Just last week, three different strangers asked when my baby was due!! That means I’m showing (just barely) and that I actually look pregnant and don’t feel fat anymore (it just looks like a big beer belly to me)!! To me, this is very exciting. Anyways, I am feeling much, much better. On Tuesday I will be 17 weeks pregnant and it will be only two more weeks until we find out if it’s a boy or a girl, which we are very excited about.
Last night, while Adam and I were watching the end of the Planet Earth series on Discovery channel, we were laying in bed and I felt this tickling/itching on my side and when I went to go itch it, I realized that it was coming from the inside! We’ve read about this in our books and this fluttery feeling is the baby moving!! Our Doctor also told us it’s between 16-20 weeks when the baby starts to move. Adam was so excited that he wanted the baby to come out right then and there but I had to explain to Adam that the baby wasn’t done growing and he had to wait a lot longer until the baby would be ready 
So instead he just leaned over, and through my belly, told the baby that it was a good baby and that he loves it (he’s a very sweet dad already!).
I also wanted to let you ladies know that I planned a trip home in July (Saturday the 28th to Wednesday Aug. 1). I wanted to make sure that the family got to see me nice and pregnant for the first time. So hopefully I’ll be able to see everyone then. Well that’s about all for me, I just wanted to share the exciting news! I hope everything is well with all of you.
