17 weeks

Another week has passed. I am now 17 weeks! I definitely feel pregnant now. My lower back has been bothering me along with my left leg. Maybe it's the way my uterus is sitting, not sure but it has to be a nerve thing. I have been feeling the baby move more and more to. I think I have an athlete in there.

My grandma made another trip to the hospital this past week as well. She was diagnosed with brain cancer last spring. She has been a trooper for sure. Unfortunately the MRI showed another tumor that has caused some swelling and I think fluid. She was left with a very hard decision of another surgery, more radiation or to go on hospice. I think she decided on surgery but I'm not sure yet. I just pray that I get to see her again. I'm on the other side of the country. I'm thinking of making a trip back for Easter. Please keep her in your prayers.

My little Izzy was spayed on Thursday. She has had a rough recovery but is doing well now. She still whimpers every now and then but I'm not sure if that's because she is in pain or if she wants attention. She is so cute.
