Baby girl is moving around, especially after a rough day of work. I’m stuck on finding a good day for my baby shower. I don’t want it too early cause I feel like it’s bad luck but then I do because I like for everything to be prepared just in case. But it would also have to around the holidays which I would hate. The only options are from early December to mid January. Having a February baby is going to be rough with all these holidays.

You’re now 17 weeks pregnant and every week that baby inside of you is growing more and becoming more active. While 17 weeks pregnant your baby is about the size of the palm. http://bit.ly/WOrpQX

“It’s so hard to ask for help.  Because you’re supposed to be ‘Mommy.’  And you never want to say: ‘I need help being Mommy.’  I carried this person for nine months.  I knew she was coming.  I felt like I should be able to handle it and I didn’t want to ask other people to stop their lives.  Especially if they had no part in making this baby.  But eventually I had to give in.  I’m just one person and being ‘Mama’ 24/7 can make you crazy.  I found myself getting frustrated that other people were going on with their lives.  I’d let things fester.  And it was unhealthy for my relationships.  I’d get heated with my mother and boyfriend.  Instead of beginning with ‘Can you help?’  I’d lose my temper, and jump straight to: ‘Why aren’t you helping?’”

Nauseous so I can’t eat. Nauseous because I haven’t eaten. Rewind and repeat.
