17 Weeks
Today marks 17 weeks for this pregnancy. Yes, I’m still pregnant, people.
On the one hand, I fell silly updating for a lame ole singleton pregnancy. On the other, it’s a singleton pregnancy! A miracle! And JUST ONE!!! So easy!
My hormones seem to be a little more manageable this past week or so, which is promising. I hope I can stop being a lunatic for the next 23 weeks.
Physically, there’s some weird shit happening. The pain from a separated pelvis that I had with the girls has been back for a few weeks. The intensity comes and goes. My stomach muscles have completely given out on me. They never fully repaired after the last pregnancy, and my growing uterus this time around has already separated the tenuous union that existed.
I’ve noticed a lot of differences with this pregnancy in general. My skin is incredibly dry — highly unusual for me, as my skin is normally available for offshore drilling to supply oil to small countries. And the nausea (which is thankfully GONE) was much more intense with this pregnancy.
But other things just don’t change. I’m already at the peeing-every-15-minutes stage. Pregnancy insomnia has already set in. I don’t think my belly is any smaller with just one baby, either. Seems my uterus has muscle memory or something.
The best news to share is that Friday at 9 a.m. is my BIG ULTRASOUND. First thing in the morning. Bitches better not be running late. I’m practically tearing my hair out with anticipation. Every bone in my body is saying it’s a boy. We haven’t even discussed girl names because it’s a boy.
I think.
Only 82 hours till we find out.

Can't wait to hear what flavor of baby you have in that oven1
I think I'm going to need comparrison belly pics from here on out. Go take care of that, please! And, I went back and read your 17 wk post from the girls. My, you have come a long way! Things really do work out differently than we think/hope/plan. Friday is getting closer! YAY!!!!
I will be shocked if it's not a boy, mostly because of the nausea.
I'm in the "100% believe it's a boy" camp, too. The difference in nausea but also just kind of thinking you have 2 girls, this must be a boy. That doesn't make any sense, but I will be surprised if you're not having one.
I am putting in my jinx vote
. Someone isn't going to share..I think I had that capabilty a long time ago with willing baby's not to cooperate for their parents lol, they hated me in the chats, lots of "redo's" over the years. I am totally teasing!~ I hope everything is where it should be and functioning the way it should. Ok….I am totally dying to know who is in there. I will be waiting with baited breath!.
oh yeah, I agree with Tammy…where are the pics!!!
So excited for Friday now!!! Post immediately once you find out the gender!!!
BOY! That's all I have to say — my vote's in. But if the news is different, I'll happily respond to your Friday post with GIRL!
Or HERMAPHRODITE! (Hopefully not.)

Mom is normally correct! Congratulations and keep us posted because every pregnancy is a miracle and needs to be celebrated, even a singleton!
