Ok so I am 17 weeks pregnant today. And I had a Dr's appointment.
4 weeks ago at my last appointment they sent me for an ultrasound because I look like I am a lot further along. I was 13 weeks at the time. They were trying to make sure I wasn't having twins or something. My ultrasound was fine and we got to see baby for the first time. So cute! But when we were all done the tech said that the baby was measuring at 11 weeks not 13.
Hmmm? How is the baby not further along when I look like a balloon?
See?
Oh and I haven't gained any weight at all. In fact I lost a lb.
So back to today. I go in and my Dr finds baby's heartbeat and everything sounds great! But he tells me that he's pushing my due date back! From March 24th to April 10th! What?! Yup he says I am 15 weeks pregnant according to my last ultrasound.
Great! Lovely! Fan-freakin-tastic!
I get to be pregnant LONGER! At leasts that's how the irrational part of me is thinking. OH! And I lost another pound! What? I feel myself expanding more and more every day... but baby is small and I am losing weight. Nothing makes sense.
But I have complete faith in my Dr. He delivered both of my previous babies and he's really quite plesant to be around. He says he's not worried because baby is growing beautifully, his/her heartbeat is strong and normal, and I have small babies anyways. My first two 6lbs 2 oz and 6lbs 12oz. So... everything is fine.
But what a weird day!
On the bright side: I have my next appointment Nov 8th where I will either have my BIG ultrasound or schedule it for later that week! (You know BIG as in we will find out the sex!)

I already know you are pregnant, no surprise there, at least not anymore, but to me not knowing what the baby is going to be is just more exciting. You don't leave nothing to be surprised later on. Unless of course they tell you you are having a girl but deliver a boy. Hey it's happened before.
Doesn't that suck when it takes so long? Then they keep changing the date? That happened to me with jimmy and he was born too early! Soon enough you will be like man this baby is growing too fast! Congrats again.
