17 Weeks Pregnant

Oh my God my bladder!!
 I thought that all this bladder stuff was supposed to be done with until the thrid trimester now? Nope! My loo trips are now getting so frequent that I may as well just set up camp there and get a duvet and pillow. This week has been the first time that my bladder has been waking me up every couple of hours and I find that my stomach gets reaaaaaally painful and swollen feeling if I even try and hold in a wee for more than a couple of minutes, I guess my little man is just using my bladder as a trampoline at the moment! Hopefully it'll settle back down soon and start to get less irritating as it's really starting to impact my sleep which is NOT a good idea as I've really noticed mood swings kicking in as well.
 At the minute I'm just super emotional, taking everything personally and am getting far too angry far too quick, like 0-100 in 0.2 which paired with no sleep due to constant trips to the loo is getting really annoying, hopefully I'll chill out soon too.
 Heartburn is less evil this week though it's still here it's definitely getting less frequent and less intense when I do get it.
 This week I got diagnosed with SPD which I talk about in detail here.
 Also, I felt him kicking for the first time this week which was the strangest feeling that I can't even describe but when it happens, you'll know it's happened. So strange but so lovely to feel him kicking and moving around inbetween scans, it just feels like a little bit of a peace of mind that he's still okay and he's growing. It was magical.

My tummy is definitely getting bigger and rounder and harder to hide with baggy clothes and this is the first week I've had anyone outside of my family ask to touch it, which was really strange but at least she asked! 


I'm still totally in love with the name Zachary but now prefer the spelling with a 'h' instead of a 'k' and am thinking his full name will be Zachary Aaron Christopher Corbett. I love it (and his initials will spell his name! ZACC!)
