My pregnancy updates

I've been feeling pretty huge these days. I'm not one of those petite women who get this cute little basketball and act all coy about how "big" they are. I get big e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e. It's pretty gross actually but oh-so-worth it. :) I wouldn't change it for anything!

Anyway - I've been feeling really good - other than a bit of pain in places I don't care to mention on a public forum. :) I feel the baby moving every day....especially when I sit at the computer and slouch over. She doesn't like that. I also feel her at night when I go to bed. She's got to flop around and get comfy too, I guess. :)

Before we got pregnant with Baby Boom Boom, I really couldn't remember what the kicks felt like. When I was pregnant with Ryan, I just assumed that I'd never forget. Well I did. And when we struggled for so long to get pregnant and ended up giving up the idea that it would ever happen again, this was one of the things that I mourned: The Baby Kicks. I couldn't remember what they felt like - and I wanted to. So here I am at just about 21 weeks and I want to try to remember them. So when I'm old and gray (oh wait, I already am)... I'll remember what they feel like.

Imagine sitting and having something jab you from the inside...right now the jabs are still low -where your intestines probably are. This surprises me because my uterus is up by my belly button. But right now, that's where I feel the jabs and pokes. Sometimes they are halfway below my belly button...they're not hard...but they're definitely the baby. And I love them.

Here's a picture or two. Ryan wants to help take pictures.


And although it's blurry and the color is funny, Ryan wanted to kiss BoomBoom.
