16 weeks!

Four months along?? Kinda scary. Exciting, but still scary. One thing people keep telling me upon finding out the status of my uterus is, "Your life is going to change". I am aware of this, really, I am. Hence the scary. But change can be good too, you know. Change can be challenging, fulfilling, beautiful and well worth it. In fact, even though I've never done this whole mothering another human thing before, I can say with certainty that I know it will be well worth it.

I'm feeling pretty good this week so far. I felt the first flutters from the fetus, which was pretty cool. It has happened a few times now. It feels like there's a moth flapping around just under my skin. It's going to be extra cool to feel kicks later on down the road.

I have also started to get that super-smelling thing that happens to many pregnant ladies, and I pretty much hate it. I smell everything and everybody. Cologne, cigarette smoke, b.o., cat piss, you name it, and I can smell it way stronger than you. Bleh.

Two more weeks until our next appointment! I hope we can find out what flavor of baby we're having then.
