17 weeks (and 1 day)

I am 17 weeks pregnant this week.  Things are still going fine as far as I can tell.  Getting through the next 2 weeks will be difficult though.  I am very anxious to get back to the doctor to make sure everything is fine.  I have considered going to just have them check the heartbeat, but I haven't done it yet.  I've been feeling pretty good this week and not much has been going on, so there isn't much to say.  I did have my first really odd craving last night.  I was just sitting on the couch and got this sudden craving for garlic bread.  Of course, I don't have anything like that available in my house.  I was being lazy and didn't want to go to the store so I tried to just ignore it.  Apparently when you have a craving for something it is extremely difficult to ignore.  Luckily Darren was home.  He can be pretty creative when it comes to cooking and thought of an alternative.  I took a hot dog bun, split it into the 2 halves and buttered each half then put garlic salt on top and broiled them in the oven for a few minutes.  It wasn't perfect, but it was exactly what I needed to satisfy the craving.  I was totally fine after that.  Pregnancy is a strange thing.
