A baby Fjeldsted! It sure has come a long way in its first weeks of life. I'm now 17 weeks and feeling great... mostly. The first 12 weeks proved to be fairly uneventful. I never threw up, but did feel queasy on occasion and desired only the blandest of food. Plain baked potato or pasta with butter for dinner? Yes, please! And then there were the marathon sleep hours, waking up to pee, swollen abdomen, headaches, and gas. But really, it wasn't too bad and still isn't. Most of my clothes are feeling pretty tight these days, and I'm looking forward to when I actually look pregnant and not just chubby.
We'll find out the gender in three weeks, and I think then it will actually seem more real that we're having a baby!! I'm due March 4th, which seems like an eternity from now, but I'm sure it will be here before we know it. We're really excited to meet whoever I'm cookin' up inside! :) I welcome any advice you want to give to a first time mama.
