Pregnancy - Week 17

I have no idea why my text and pictures will not center. I cannot figure it out - sorry!

Today I had a baby appointment!

Nik was able to take off work and go with me.

Baby D is doing great - I am doing great - so it was a quick, easy appointment!

Baby D - 17 weeks

I did not get an ultrasound this time - but we did listen to the heartbeat.

And I started crying!

Not sobbing crying, just tears coming out, crying.

I’m not sure why I was so emotional this time, but I was.

In that moment, I just became so thankful and overwhelmed at the life growing inside of me.

Pregnancy 2 is so different from Pregnancy 1 - for me, anyways.

I don’t just sit around everyday thinking about this baby. Shocker, I know! Ha ha.

So in those few quiet moments at the doctor’s office - I can really take it all in.

And I love it.

Know what else I love?

A morning to myself :)

I dropped Jaxen off at school, then went to my appointment.

But after that….

I went to the grocery store to pick up about 6 things.

Drove through Sonic for a little treat :)

Made a quick return to a store - glanced around for about 15 minutes. 

 Showed up at my hair appointment 20 minutes early -

just so I could sit on the comfy couch to read and relax.

And actually getting my hair done was so very relaxing!

I came home at lunch refreshed and very happy!

And we have had the most gorgeous (unlikely) days this week.

So when Jaxen woke up from his nap we took a little stroll through the neighborhood.
