Thankful on Thanksgiving

I had my 17 week appointment this week and everything is looking great! I am a bit low on iron and so my doctor suggested taking a separate iron pill with my prenatal vitamin each morning. We listened to little man's heartbeat and he is looking perfect! 
We have SO much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. 

Our day was full of family and way too much food as usual but ended with the most amazing thing for this first time mama. When I laid down in bed at the end of the day I felt the "fluttering" everyone has been asking about and telling me would be happening soon. It was amazing! Off and on for about 20 minutes I felt almost like a flip-flop feeling in my belly. WOW! Such a special feeling and something I was not sure I would ever get to experience. 
We are blessed. 
Happy Thanksgiving!

Awww I'm just a weepy mess over here catching up on your posts. :) I'm SOOOO happy for you!!

for the iron, if it upsets your tummy, you could try taking it before bed or crushing it into applesauce or something. They also make a liquid iron. :) best of luck!
