Week 17 - Ooooh! The Intensity!

This past week I have come to the realization that the second time around is definitely harder, more intense. Everything seems to be more noticeable and painful than I remember when I was pregnant with Rachel. Saturday we went to Chinese Buffet with some friends for dinner and I think I ate a little too much because when I woke up in the morning on Sunday I was in pain! I couldn't tell if it was gas pains or if it was muscle tightening. I ate some breakfast but that didn't really help. I just ended up crying to Josh and sitting on the couch for a while. It ended up going away after a while but geeze! I don't remember ever feeling like that with Rachel! I don't know it just feels like this time I am feeling EVERYTHING! Hmmm, I wonder if it gets better or worse the bigger I get....

One awesome thing this week though! I finally felt my little move for real! I was laying down in bed and had my hand on my stomach and I felt the little one push up against it! It was kicking and hitting and wiggling around. It was great. Such a weird sensation but amazing at the same time. Another thing that is just weird to me is that I am almost half way down with this pregnancy and I can still wear my prepregnancy clothes! I feel like I am smaller than I was with Rachel! Oh well. I'm sure it will come and catch up with me in the next couple months.
