Bob with his sonogram picture frame for Father's Day :) |
So last night (or early this morning seeing as how it was at 2:30am) I felt our little girl kick for the first time! Everyone's been asking me if I've felt it yet and I'd sad face reply no not yet :( Flutters?!? Yeah possibly so, but again this being my first and I wasn't really sure. But every night between 2 and 3am I have to get up and use the bathroom, it's like clockwork ;) Well sure enough last night at exactly 2:30am I roll over on my back to stretch before getting up and place my hand on my belly and sure enough, right at the tip of my belly button I felt a kick! I of course am in shock never having felt it before but then I felt another one! My little nudger ;) Ahh it was so neat, the most amazing feeling ever! So she kicked 4 times before I got up to pee but of course when I lay back down in bed to show Bob she stopped ;) I tried rolling all over for about a good hour after that trying to feel her kick again but I couldn't. Restless night after that though! My alarm went off at 5am for me to get up for work but of course I turned it off and fell back asleep ;) I didn't get up until 10 after 6 when I had to be to work at 7. Everyone who knows me knows I take at least an hour to get ready ;) Well believe it or not I was only 5 minutes late to work, but I think I had a good excuse ;) How cool was it though that it was the morning after Father's Day :)
Well today marks the halfway point in my pregnancy! I'm exactly 20 weeks along and have roughly 20 more weeks to go (give or take a few). Again still all is well, so far so good :) I could get used to this pregnancy thing and definitely wouldn't mind doing it again. But again check back in about 10-20 weeks ;) Still seems to be going by fast, but then not at the same time. I feel anxious to get things done though. I want to do as much traveling as I can, spend as much time with Bob as I can, oh and get in all the rest that I can ;) Plus I so cannot wait to do the nursery but again having a hard time finding anything I like! I really just might end up decorating it based on a color scheme rather than a theme or print. Me not being a girly type and hating the color pink and not being too fond of the color purple I'm limited to my choices ;) I love the idea of browns, sage greens, light yellows, creams, things like that. Something soft, sweet, with a classy feel to it. Old fashioned if you will ;) I was gonna do white, sage green, and yellow and then decorate with daisies but I'd probably end up doing a lot of painting seeing as how I can't find anything daisy =/ Oh well, I keep telling myself I still have time and maybe they'll come out with something that I like by November ;) She won't be in the nursery for AT LEAST the first 3 months anyways, I would just like to have it done for my own personal gratification =/
