Hooray!!

I just my baby kick from the outside of my belly for sure this time!!! On March 28th (L.J.'s Birthday, R.I.P) I felt two twitches in a row and put my hand on my belly just in time to feel the third one. I wasn't sure if it was really a kick or not since there were only three but just a minute ago I sat on my couch to take a break from measuring all my furniture and definately felt kicks. Seven in one region of my belly and 2 more about two inches to the left of the first ones. It was so cool. I think I am definately noticing the baby's movements more profoundly too. It started off as just little flutters, like a butterfly flapping it's wings, and usually only one flap at a time. Now I think I can tell where it is when I am sleeping and I can tell when it is being really active, but those real full fledged kicks are awesome. I want them to happen all the time. I know I'll get my wish since things just get bigger from here.

If you are a reader who doesn't regularly check my sisters blog you should because it is great but also she has started a poll... Bets on what the sex is (I'll know on April 19 but I think the poll results become official when the baby is born and the Dr.'s guess is confirmed), when it will be born, and what time it will be coming. The address to her blog is www.likeatwister.blogspot.com. I stole this picture from her to show all my regulars just how much thing have grown in only one month.

I think if you click on the picture it will show you a larger image.

I hardly recognize my belly button anymore and had to buy a lot of stretchy clothes because maternity stuff doesn't come in petite sizes and my clothes don't pretty much don't fit. I figured since I'll pregnant throughout the whole summer I will just live in skirts and skants (those pants that hit just below the knees that are flowy and look like skirts) or a bathing suit at the pool cause the air in my apartment sucks. Just wanted to share my excitement for the kicks with everyone. Have great days and if you're in Kentucky enjoy this weather that is finally springy. Amber's has a bulb garden that is in bloom and smells delicious. She even has some minature tulips that have blossomed. There is hope yet that winter will (and may have, but that's probably just me being optimistic again) officially end and I can't wait.
