Week 17, a welcomed sight

Well I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow and it sure is exciting. Only a few mere weeks away from half way! I'm so grateful for the time to be flying by as qickly as it seems even though there are days in between that sure drag on haha. I just went in and had my second trimester screening done today, for the SECOND TIME in a week actually- Because the lovly technician spelled my name wrong so my sample was rejected. BOO but oh well it was done again and in plenty of time so no harm done.

Also this is a pretty eventful week (next 7 days) coming up for my family it's BIRTHDAY WEEK!!! My parents and I share our birthdays just days apart from eachother and this year we have another October birthday to add to our BIRTHDAY WEEK! Sam's girlfriend Lillie's birthday will start us off :) Her birthday is tomorrow Tuesday the 16th, my dad's birthday is Wednesday the 17th, my birthday is Friday the 19th and my mom's birthday is monday the 22nd. This is going to be so much fun and this is my second birthday in a row where I'm pregnant haha.
