17 weeks

Hello everyone!
I promise I tried to post a picture for last week, but it was saved to the internal memory of my camera and I couldn't upload it. Anyway- I went to the doctor last Friday and everything went really well. After finding the fetal heartbeat (it was 166) the doctor got out the tape measure to see how big my belly was. She was poking around to find the top of my uterus near my belly button and said "hmmm"- she switched positions and moved up about 2 inches higher and said "wow- this baby is definately growing!" It makes me scared I'm gonna give birth to a toddler! (have you seen my husband!) I also had a quad screen that tests for the risks of our baby having down's syndrome and other birth defects- got the news today and it came up negative! Of course, we would have loved our child no matter what, but it's great to know that everything is good so far. We go back in a few more weeks to have our "big" ultrasound and we can't wait. Here is one more belly picture for those of you who like to see them. It was taken at 17 weeks after a long night at the baseball diamond. Sorry- I look kinda scary!
