i mean, i guess...???

i *think* mini's moving around in there! i've felt this "feeling" in there off and on all this past week. kinda feels like a swooooooosh, or like when you roll your fist against your arm. (did that make sense? i can't explain it right, i think.) it does *not* feel like "bubbles" or "gas". not even like "butterflies". more like .... an elbow rolling across my uterus. i mean, maybe it's a knee or something, but whatever. i'm having a really hard time describing it, which sucks for chris. HE can't feel it from the outside, so he wants to know all about it and i think i just frustrate him when i try. haha.

ALSO - i have gained a total of SIX POUNDS!!! i have NOT been dieting, that's for damn sure, so i'm just happy to be on track. i watched my friend go from 160 to 210 in the first 4 months, (topping out at 270 - THAT was scary.) so i've always been afraid that would be me, too. i LOOK at food and gain weight. but so far, so good!

and i can't wait til the 5th. i can't wait to be able to say 'he' or 'she' with confidence! and the NAMES! we can finally lock down a name!!! so excited!!!

innie or outtie???

we shall see on february 5th!!!

my doctor was very adamant about doing it at 20 weeks, but i got her down to 19w4d. (go me. haha) it seems like everyone i know who has had a baby or is pregnant gets to find out at 17-18 weeks! oh well, only 3 weeks to wait.

:)

ok. i'm in.

i guess this is getting more "real" everyday. still not showing, but my normally peaches-n-cream complexion is not so cute anymore. i get at least one breakout a day! arg. and i wake up in the middle of the night having "pulled" my nether-regions. i know, i know, totally normal, but seriously weird! and i cry over the stupidest things. that damn baby commercial where they're all sleeping and cuddly, while watching the blind side, (cried the entire movie. "i just hoo-o-ope he doesn't feel embarrrrr-assed about being so bad at fooootballllllwaaaaaaaa.") when my husband makes his usual no-one-else-would-find-this-funny bad jokes.

so all added up, i'm pretty sure this whole pregnancy thing is going according to schedule and alls well.

and just in case i didn't think so, mrs. doctor lady said everything is growing beautifully and baby's heartbeat is sounding perfect.

yay!
