17wk3day appointment

Today we met one of the other doctors in the office that may be delivering Baby Baber.  He was very kind and answered many questions.  He even lightened the mood with cracking some jokes!  The baby and I are doing great and the heart rate was 151.  Chip asked the doctor to set the dobbler on me again so he could tape the heart beating!!  I was so surprised that he was ready with his phone to take an audio of it.  Once we get it up you'll hear the heart beat the best from 7-12 seconds and very well at 20-28 seconds.

Making the baby "perform on command" can be challenging.  I think "it" will be like me as far as standing up in front of a crowd!! Chip said, "We gotta do it for the blog, keep it interesting, step it up!"  I laughed!  We are thrilled to be at 17 weeks along and doing great!!  I gained a whole whopping 2 lbs. and 5" in the waist! 

First "skin" picture.  You won't see too many of these posted.  I am being brave at the moment.  Though looks like more than 2 lbs. huh?  I was surprised! Those are my workout pants though working well for suedo maternity clothes.  I am fitting into regular clothes, but I fear for not much longer!!
