Baby Update at 17 Weeks
Ooh I think I’m beginning to notice the quickening that should occur around this time. I was lying on the couch when I felt a flurry in my tummy that didn’t feel like anything else but a baby moving around. How exciting.
Not much else to report, which I think is a good thing. I’ve just been feeling tired as usual, and like I have a cold coming on a lot of the time. Wellington winters are horrible. At least I have shonpluck’s parker that will keep me dry, albeit a little big but at least I can zip it up :)
Mum has been giving me more ‘advice’, and that’s in quotes because they’re mostly old wive’s tales. The latest was not to tie knots as this will have adverse effects on the baby. She says it’s true because she tied something when she was pregnant with her first daughter and she was born with a bump on her ear. I think I can safely dismiss this one. (By the way, I talk about my “mum’s daughter” because I have never met her. My brother and I are the youngest of four children, and the only two remaining. Our two older sisters were toddlers during the Pol Pot regime and did not survive.)
Moving along, we went to the Salvation Army store yesterday to see if they had any cute bassinets. They didn’t, but what we did encounter was the loudest tantrum ever thrown by a child. So much to look forward to eh!

Lol. Does knot tying include doing up your shoelaces?

That’s what Neil asked. Who knows… if you ask my mum she’ll probably say I shouldn’t be wearing shoes that requiring bending over to tie up anyway!

Try trade me for 2nd hand bassinets or moses baskets. I have been buying some stuff off there.
Glad the jacket is useful – hopefully you’ll be able to zip it up all the way through your pregnancy but you’ll just have to see… I expect I have some other jackets that are bigger if you need, although I think they will drown your arms :-)

Thanks for letting me borrow it!
Your current jacket already drowns my arms and almost my legs! It’s annoying being so short :[
