A distraction from the political fallout:

At seventeen weeks, I am starting to feel movement.

It's incredibly surreal that there is a LIVING THING in my abdomen.  And that it kicks me when displeased about the positioning of my waistband.

You may go back to your regularly scheduled lives.

Wow! The first movements!
Kicks when displeased, hmm? Evidently a strong-willed person :D

I already knew my kid was strong willed when the ultra-sound technician had a hard time getting him to roll over for a specific measurement. I spent ten minutes getting prodded in the belly to move the little brat before he could be bothered to move!

Hee. Awesome! More than a sea monkey now!

More like a bell pepper. And next week, an heirloom tomato! http://www.babycenter.com/fetal-development-images-18-weeks
