Pregnancy update

I am 17 weeks and 3 days today!

Time is flying by.  I am almost to the halfway mark to the end of my pregnancy.  Not much is going on except my belly expanding and I think I feel little flutters here and there.  Every night my husband and I are listening to baby's heartbeat together before we go to bed. :) This baby is such a blessing for the both of us.  This Friday we go in for the anatomy scan and I am hoping that we find out the gender.  Everyone is saying I'm having a boy but I guess we shall wait and see.  We haven't bought any furnitures for the baby yet, but I'm thinking starting Friday the baby shopping will begin. I'm so excited! I have started getting the little baby care items while couponing. Baby will have its own stockpile :) That's all for now until Friday!
