17 Weeks

Today I noticed that when I reach for something while I’m sitting, I can really feel the baby. It feels like a tight little ball at the base of my stomach, which is kind of cool and weird at the same time. I’m still sleeping 9 hours a night and if I get less than that, I have to nap during the day. I’ve always needed about 8 hours of sleep a night, though, so it’s not too big of a change. If everything works out well next week, we’ll know if the baby is a boy or a girl! I can’t wait!
