Realized it has been a while since I posted in here.... Posted in the TTC thread, but will post in here more often than there again since we have a NEW member!! Congrats Wish!!
Can't believe I am almost 18 weeks already! Things are going well and normal for the most part. On Friday I had a little scare, but found out from doc it is totally normal... Friday afternoon when I got home I used the bathroom and saw some brown spotting/discharge. So of course I started to panic slightly and called my doctor. He said it was most likely old blood. Apparently your cervix is ultra sensitive during pregnancy and can get irritated very easily. He said as long as it is not bright red with bad cramping it is fine. It must have been an isolated case because I did not see any more the rest of the weekend so I am feeling a little better about it now. Was a little nerve wrecking for a while!
On a happier note, hubby likes the name Ireland!! He basically told me I could pick the name as long as he does not think it is weird! haha So I was thinking that since he is letting me pick Ireland, I would try to incorporate a name from his family. His grandma, who he was close with, middle name was Claira. So I am thinking Ireland Claire. Not 100% on the middle name, but I have not come up with anything that I like better. I also have a back up name just in case either he or I decide we do not like Ireland anymore. Quinn Kiley (as most of you know Kiley is actually my maiden name). I actually really love both names so I will be happy with either.
Attached are my 17 week bump pictures. Morning bare bump (barely look prego in that one, just thick), later afternoon bump (she likes to make her appearance as the day wears on), and bump sitting down (I always look way bigger when sitting down, especially in the evening!). I hear one of these days, the evening bump will finally stay and I will no longer have the magical disappearing baby bump!
