Kick in the belly

So I am pretty sure the baby has been moving lately. I don't understand how baby kicks are confused as gas for a little while. Seems pretty obvious to me what the differences are. I have been having headaches lately, and they are pretty severe. Finally got some tylenol today. I'd prefer not having to take anything but my vitamins, but I gotta draw the line at some point... The doc said tylenol was fine to take. I'm so tired lately. My center of balance is becoming more off. I thought I was clumsy before? That was a cake walk compared to now. I'm watching the Colbert Report. But I'm tired more than that. I think I'll go to bed. I just wanted to do a quick post before I went off to sleep. I work this weekend, so I'll probably just post a blog monday after my next appointment with the OBG.

17 weeks and a late start

I'm at a late start with blogging, but here I am. At 17 weeks, my belly is swelling a little more each day. Going from a size 6 and able to fit in all my jeans, to now, where all I can fit into is 3 maternity pants and some dresses. I'm finishing out the fall semester of school at which point, I am fortunate, I will be going to NY at 34 weeks where I will have yet another OBGYN. My Obgyn here is great. She's very nice. I feel like I should be asking more questions but I don't really feel like I have any right now. I'm the oldest of nine kids. I do wish I had a wider support system at times. I had to move out of my father's before my pregnancy because he didn't approve of my future "husband-to-be". Which, at 20, is not completely unusual in today's age and time, that I got engaged was unacceptable. I'm fortunate my fiance's parents are so supportive. They have been wonderful. While I'm here I'll be busy with classes and working 2 jobs. I don't know how I'm going to survive. :p
