17 weeks!

I am now 17 weeks and have been feeling pretty good lately! As you can see in the picture, my belly is really starting to blossom! I feel like I went from barely showing at all to looking pretty noticeably pregnant in less than 1 week. And apparently it's not going to slow down, because I read that the baby is going to double it's weight in the next 3 weeks or so. Crazy huh? I LOVE having this little bump and can't wait for it to keep growing! I have been feeling the baby move for a little over a week now, and he/she has been very active so far! I feel it several times throughout each day. I also read that at this point, the baby's hearing is developing. Well, this morning when we got to church, I hadn't felt the baby move at all. However, when the music started, there it was! I am convinced the music woke him/her up. :) Whenever Camden gets a glimpse of my growing belly, he squeals with delight. He also asks me about 5 times a day, "how big is your baby??". It's so cute to see how excited he is about all this. And quite a relief, I must admit. So far, no visible evidence of any sibling rivalry. I'm sure he's just saving it up for when the baby is actually here. So, here is the first belly shot of my pregnancy. My plan is to take one every week from now on. At this point, things can change a lot in a week!!
