It Likes to Move It Move It

Yes, I can feel the baby move!!!  I thought I was feeling something around 16 weeks but wasn't completely sure so I started paying close attention to these subtle feelings in my tummy.  Then a few days later I decided to pamper myself with some Christmas money and got a facial.  As I was lying there completely still and enjoying the relaxation, I felt the baby!  It felt kinda like a ripple effect... like others have described a butterfly or something.  Since that day, I am more aware to little movements going on in there.  One time it felt like a little popcorn kernel popped, a tiny kick perhaps?  Then yesterday that happened 3 times in a row.  Hiccups?  I can't be sure of what any of these movements actually are, but I know it is the baby making them and that is exciting!!  I absolutely can't wait until they are hard enough that Russell can feel them too.  I know he's going to love that!

I haven't had another "episode" since my Tossing Cookies post.  Success!

It is almost a guarantee that when I sneeze, a little pee will come out - just being honest here, folks!

Russell and I took a semi-spontaneous trip to Big Cedar Lodge outside of Branson last weekend, more to come on that later!

Still having trouble eating meat... although I was able to eat some delicious fajitas at LifeGroup last night!  Thanks Jon & Jen!

I'm 19 weeks today which means half way is next week!  Crazy!

2 weeks and 1 day until we find out the sex of the baby.  It is killing me not knowing!!!

I think that's it for now...Oh!  and Happy 50th Birthday Mom!!!  Or Gammie maybe?!  What a blessing you are in my life and I am so thankful for you!  You are beautiful, selfless, encouraging, supportive, and the list could go on for miles!  I hope YOUR day is fabulous!  I just wish I could spend it with you!
