Connor Update

Kelly gave a really good time line last night, and it's worth posting...

0-7 Weeks Pregnant: massive boob growth, exhaustion.

7-17 Weeks Pregnant: everything under the sun and horrible, horrible sickness.

17-21 Weeks Pregnant: not so sick, but tremendous hunger.

That is the latest development. Kelly is so hungry. She rarely feels full, but she eats and then feels too full. It's the classic pregnancy conundrum.

Connor is growing very fast right now. It seems like every time we look at Kelly's belly, it is bigger. There is no hiding her pregnancy and she is wearing the full on maternity clothes. He belly button, while not popping yet, is pretty close.

Kelly's tummy has begun to itch. I catch her scratching it daily, and I can tell that she doesn't really know she is doing it.

Connor moves with a patterned regularity. Or rather, Kelly feels the patterns now. About 20 minutes after eating, Connor gets excited and starts moving. I finally felt him kick over the weekend. We've been trying for a while, and it has been obvious that I would have felt him long before now...but timing never works out. It finally worked this weekend and I felt our son moving. It was super exciting...

Kelly is now sleeping with two pillows - one in front and one in back - to relieve some of the pressure. Getting up off the floor is getting more difficult, but that is mostly because she has a pinched nerve in her back. The pregnancy is making that much more painful than it usually is. Chiropractic visits are in the future...

We have our 22 week appointment next Monday. More stats then!
