As week 17 approaches, my jeans are starting to fit a little snug and my belly is rounding out to where it looks slightly more "pregnant-like" rather than "I have just overdone it on the doughnuts-like". Since I wear scrubs during the weekdays, its hard to feel the changes during the week. As soon as the weekend arrives and I try to squeeze into my jeans the changes are very apparent! Thanks to my friend Jess and rubber bands, I felt a lot more comfortable this weekend :o)
I had my first pregnancy massage on Friday, which was amazing! I am already looking forward to my next one!
Cody has been absolutely amazing throughout this journey so far. I have always heard that a woman becomes a mother as soon as she becomes pregnant and a man becomes a father when the baby arrives. This has been completely false in our house. Cody has taken on full father duties from day one. Always making sure I am comfortable, understanding during my emotional moments, cleaning out the kitty litter box (Dr.'s orders! And something he has never done in the past!), and making sure that he tells me how beautiful my changing body is to him. That has been something that was hard for me to accept at first. I have never been a vain person by any means but weight gain and body image has never been a concern of mine because I have always been in control of it. Cody rubs my belly often with this look of amazement and love in his eyes. He once told me that he loves seeing my little bump grow because its the one thing that he really has to remind him of the exciting changes in our life to come. Last week in the middle of the night in a half asleep state, he sat up in bed and placed his ear on my belly to see if he could hear Baby's heartbeat :o) I am so happy to see him just as excited as me about every little step of the way in this 9 month process. Thank God for Daddy's like him!
