At 17 weeks of Pregnancy

I'm still feeling the same on my 17th week. Although sometimes I can feel the weight on my feet. I also noticed last night that my feet were swollen! What? I couldn't believe it either. I haven't been eating junk except for fries (HA!) lately so I guess it must be the fries. And I guess I need to drink more water! And as my Mom said last night, I need to do more exercises. Aargh.

I felt the baby moved again last night but it was so quick that I'm not sure if it is really the baby or it's just my stomach grumbling. I've been hungry all the time. Even in the middle of the night, but I've been watching my diet too because I have another blood sugar test on Saturday. This is the hardest part of being pregnant, being hungry all the time and at the same time need to watch out what I eat. I can say that all my life I've been a healthy eater (thanks to my Mom!) but there are days that you crave for some chips and soda right?

On caffeine, it's a good thing that I haven't been craving for coffee these past few weeks. I know it's bad for the baby and nobody knows the effect it entails. But just in case I would crave one of these days, I'm eying Figaro for a White Chocolate Mocha decaf and light. :)

On acnes, thank God they were gone. No need for best acne treatment as of now since my face is clear. I just don't know if these acnes are going to break my skin again. But I think as long as I eat right and drink lots of water, I'm on the right track.

Alex is getting the routine of kissing my tummy before going to sleep. It's a bit showing now so I think she is getting the point that there really is a baby in my tummy. I can't wait for her to see her baby brother/sister. Speaking of the gender, hopefully within this month, we will have another ultrasound that would see what gender it is. Oh, I can't wait for that!

But for the mean time, will have to prepare for my big test tomorrow (OGTT)! I just hope it turned out well. God will make a way.
