News has spread pretty quickly at work. Many people in our ward also know now. It's such a relief not to worry about who knows and how they found out. At church today I got a few "you're not showing at all" comments. I don't really mind that. I have a couple friends who are likely "days" away from delivering their first kids. When I look at their pictures I think, "gosh their huge". I can't even imagine how much discomfort they must be experiencing now in our 100 degrees plus weather. I'm grateful that it will be cold out when I get to that point of pregnancy. Although I'm not showing a ton, My size has definitely changed. My clothes are fitting tighter... jeans are incredibly uncomfortable... and when I do wear them, I sometimes feel like I should unbutton them (at least while driving). I don't like the constricting feeling I get while sitting in my car with a pair of jeans on.I'm looking forward to the adventures of the 17th week of pregnancy. Physically, I feel great. My last softball game of the summer season was on Tuesday (we actually won the game!). I'm still debating whether or not it is a good idea to play "fall ball" which is in August & September. I've been playing on a co-ed soccer team as well. I sought out the approval of my doctor before playing. He said it would be fine. I'm having some degree of second thoughts though (mostly because soccer can be a high impact sport... lots of physical contact... the chance of getting tripped... taking a soccer ball to the stomach... etc). I've been kind of going back and forth on the idea (while continuing to play). If anyone has any thoughts/advice on this it would be appreciated. I want to continue to be active but I don't want to take any "unreasonable" risks.
