First kicks

I'm currently 17 weeks pregnant with baby #2. We were extremely excited with the first one, but this time around, seems like there isn't much talk about her (yes it's a girl). It's probably because we went through all the excitement first time around, or, it can also be because we're extremely busy with our toddler nowdays to even think about #2.

My morning sickness came and went, and now we're in our second trimester. I noticed my pants getting tighter about a week ago... with my first, I wasn't in maternity pants until 7 months! This morning I had trouble getting into my jeans... I know I have to go pick up maternity pants soon at the Gap.... sigh.

I also noticed some little kicks earlier in this pregnancy. About 2 weeks ago, I already felt some fluttering but I've been ignoring it... it's too early I say to myself. But this weekend, during one of my many sleepless nights I have nowadays, I felt some distinct kicks so decided to place my hand over my tummy. It was a dark and quiet night, so this time I was sure. I was able to feel a kick and this time it wasn't gas. :-)

Those are the best feelings!
I was in maternity clothes sooner and sooner with each kid!

Yeah that's awesome!! I love feeling little kicks here and there too. I can't wait until we feel more of it. When is your due date? Mine is the 26th but I will go 2 weeks earlier for the c-section. I am having a little pooch but can still fit into my "big" clothes. I am lucky that I have sisters who just had babies in the last couple of years also so I get all their maternity clothes.
