Swishes and Flutters and...Kicks? Oh My!

About 2 weeks ago I was sitting on the couch feeling my stomach rumble like the hungry tummy it usually is. The problem was, I wasn't hungry. I had just ate and this rumbly thing had kinda happened a lot for the past couple of days. This is weird, I thought. It eventually dawned on me that this wasn't the usual butterfly flutters I've felt when our baby has moved around. These were real life KICKS! I put my hand to my stomach and sure enough I felt a slight jab. "Whoa! Chad check this out!" Is what I said. And he did. He put his hand to my tummy and felt the little guy kick around, too. It was a little freaky at first, I'll admit. My sister lovingly put it, "kinda like a vampire is trying to eat its way free"...yeah, something like that. :) But now that I've gotten used to it, I love it. I love when he starts to kick my belly in the middle of the day at Parent Teacher Conferences. I know I won't love it in a couple of months when he's grown, but I love it now. It's just a gentle little reminder like he's saying, "Hey, mom. I'm still in here!" And don't worry, baby. I'm still here, too.

frustration!

I don't know why, but my header pictures always look HUGE and when I push "shrink to fit" it doesn't show the whole picture! What do I need to do to change the size of my pictures?? Help, someone!!

Half Way, Baby!

20 Weeks Preggo....I feel GREAT but also feel like my tummy is HUGE. January seems so far away but I am certainly enjoying all this energy, appetite, and shopping for a new wardrobe! :)
