Hello 22 weeks and 5 days, and hello sweet baby in my belly who is sooo active people around me think I have a twitching disorder!!!
(I told you this blog would be lame....after you read this post you will completely agree! I just want to be sure I DOCUMENT what is going on so I don't forget, because with Gunner & Karlee I didn't document enough and it's sad how quickly you forget the 'little' things that happen).
In the past 2 weeks the Guppy has taken kicking and summersaults to a whole new (and amazing!) level. When I was pregnant with the twins they kicked, don't get me wrong. But I guess because it was so 'tight' in their living quarters they kicked a little, and I felt them roll around once or twice, but that was pretty much it. I would feel a kick 2 or 3 times a day, if I was lucky. With this one it's a whole new world! It rolls, and punches, and not just once or twice, but 6 or 7 times right in a row! Besides scaring me half to death it is the coolest thing EVER!
In other news, we just got home from an almost 2-week vacation in CALIFORNIA!!! We got to visit friends and family and were the guests of honor at a very special baby shower thrown by my best friend Linzy. Eventually (hopefully before this time next year!) I will post pictures over on the family blog. At the shower and during the rest of the trip (when I remembered!) I had people guess what we're having by holding up an 'It's a girl' or 'It's a boy' sign...I will try to get those pictures posted soon too! I think it will be fun to see who was team blue or team pink!
I go in next monday for my 24-week check up and for an ultrasound...I can hardly wait! *IF* we were finding out the sex of the baby this would be THAT ultrasound, but since we're not going to find out, I will at least have some pictures to share with you once it's over.
That's another thing that's so strange...with Gman and KJ I had ultrasounds every 2 weeks, with this one I've only had 2 so far, and only get one more (next week), (I'm NOT complaining...it means the baby is healthy!!!) but I am soooo excited for next week whereas with the twins it got to where I didn't look forward to u/s's anymore because I had them so often. I can't wait to see the little one and have it confirmed that it's growing just as it should be.
I guess for now that's about all I have to blab about. More to come after next week's appointment!
OH, one more thing. I have the sweetest kids EVER! Last night I got home from work and my feet were swollen (Still haven't quite gone down after the 26-hour car ride from California) and what did my kids do? Went and got lotion out and started rubbing my feet--all by themselves!!! As they were doing it Karlee looks at me and says "Can I get you anything sweetie?" Awwww, melt my heart!!! And they LOVE rubbing and kissing my belly every chance they get. According to Gunner, everytime he touches it the baby kicks him...soooo cute!
