17 weeks, 2 days (People are great!)

If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me how I'm feeling, I would take Jason on a Las Vegas vacation! I'm just absolutely amazed by peoples' fascination with my pregnancy and their genuine concern about my health and well-being. I have to admit: I'm going to miss the attention when the baby comes! I might as well enjoy it while I can, huh? People are already wanting to touch my belly, even though the baby is only 5 inches long, and it's mostly just the top of my uterus that is making my stomach bulge out a bit. I have no problem with friends and family touching my belly, but I'll probably freak out if a stranger tries to touch it. I can't wait til that happens! I'm already noticing people staring at my belly, especially people who know I'm pregnant and are looking to see if I'm showing yet. It's funny to catch peoples' eyes wandering south!

Jason and I are meeting with our baby's possible pediatrician this week. Her name is Dr. Knoll, and she was recommended by someone in my office.

Only 16 days until our 20-week ultrasound! I hope the baby is in the right position to determine gender. I'm REALLY excited to name this baby already!
