17 weeks and counting

The past 16 weeks have flown by so fast. I seriously can not believe that yesterday started week #17.

This past week was pretty good. I have a small appetite again, which is good.
Right now my one constant "want to have" is a glass of chocolate milk and for some reason jack in the box big cheeseburgers but they have to be absolutely plain (bun,burger,cheese only). I find it extremely weird because I don't normally like chocolate milk and only eat the sourdough grilled chicken @ JITB, but chicken is a no-go right now!

Because I am chunky you can't really tell that I am pregnant, but I can definitely feel my lower abdomen is getting thicker. I will probably just look fat my entire pregnancy and never really have "the bump"...LOL

I had an amazing counter with God this past week. This is what happened:

I was praying for the baby and I started to pray in the SPIRIT and for the first time GOD revealed to me what was being prayed in the Spirit. Immediately after I prayed in the Spirit, I prayed "yes, that from this very moment Your (God) voice would be the voice heard above all others....that from the whispering in the womb the baby would grow up hearing Your (God) voice above any other, including mine or Larry's.

I was not even thinking anything like that prior to praying in my prayer language so I know God was revealing and sealing that prayer through not only the spirit, but through the heart of the mother. I was so overjoyed and my heart was overfilled with excitement for who this baby will become. I am still at a loss for words at what happened.

Anyways,

I had my first doctor appointment with my Primary Care Physician, and we also talked with her about being the baby's pediatrician. Larry and I both walked out of there confident in our choice. So this is one last thing to stress about! Yeah! Also, I am having some sciatica issues and so she is trying to get several Physical Therapy sessions approved to try and help relieve the pain without the use of medication. I am hoping that it does, because I have not been getting much sleep lately and the pain is getting worse. Especially when I walk, and I am suppose to be walking between 30-60 minutes a day. It is really hard when there is pain shooting down your back and into your leg! I need to start working harder, because I am suppose to be trying to gain only 15-20 pounds between now and my due date.

Well that is all for now. I am excited to see what will be happening over the next month.

Love,
Kristina
