How far along? 17 weeks.
Maternity clothes? Check. And let me just say that 1. the experience was way better than I thought it would be - I'm excited to have pants fit again! and 2. as comfortable as they are, it is still going to take time to adjust to the dramatic change from pants that sit on my hips to pants that have an elastic panel up above my rib cage (but hey, I need room to grow as you can see from the picture above!). And thanks to Justin for tagging along and not laughing at the "padding" they provided to make sure clothes would still fit in three months (it's a bump, not a lump).

Movement: Yes! It's hard to explain what it feels like though. Its a mix of flutters, Bubbles, and Vibrations. It is really cool to feel, and after the past few weeks without any first tri symptoms, it is nice to have some confirmation that baby Skweres is okay.
What I miss: You. Okay, so I may have become a little more emotional this past week... no crying (well not really) but I miss my family!
What I'm looking forward to: October 5. Our ultrasound is scheduled :)
Best moment this week: Maybe a combination of feeling the baby and feeling more comfortable in maternity pants.

I can't wait for your ultrasound. Mason's about to get a male playmate. Now we just need to live in the same town!
YAY! glad you hear your feeling great!
love you, aunt carol
