Little Thumps that make my Heart Happy!
So the past week I have been feeling little thumps in my lower stomach. More like light touches or flicks. I have wondered if that was a little hand or foot letting me know she's in there or not. So yesterday my suspicions were definitely confirmed! She kicked and kicked all day!! On my drive to work, all day at work, and when I got home after we ate dinner I was laying on my side and feeling her move all over so I thought hey I bet Danny could feel this too!! So he quickly stuck his hand on my buddah belly and she gave him a little tap*tap so he knew she was there!! The rest of the night she was pretty mellow... I think Danny was excited to finally be able to feel her :) I know I loved it!! I can't wait to meet her and see how her sweet little spirit will develop. I am 20 weeks tomorrow and am feeling VERY pregnant. Living in DC is great for the sun but this week the humidity was turned up and my feet and hands are SUPER swollen!! It is hilarious to look at my feet and not recognize them at all. Danny has been a sweetheart and has rubbed my "paddle feet" almost every night this week. He's going to be a great Dad :) Other changes have included noticing that she has moved up my torso so now I think she's pretty much right behind my belly button which has left my lower stomach a little soft and everything else tight and crammed upward... which I believe is why my heartburn is on a vengeance this week. I have also had some close encounters with leg cramps in the middle of the night but luckily I've caught them before they were too bad. I haven't had any real cravings lately... other than nothing looks good to eat. My appetite is literally gone... and yes, I still puke almost every morning if there is too much flem in my throat when I wake up. It's pretty disgusting. Overall though my belly bump is popping out and my belly button hole isn't as deep.. we'll see if it ends up as an outie. I got my first 2 (tiny) stretch marks on my stomach and cried... hopefully I can stave off any more coming with some good vitamin e treatment. Everything is so far so good... I feel so blessed. I still think of my last pregnancy as that baby would have been one year old today. God has a reason for everything I know it :)

Ahh .... that is the most amazing feeling when you get to feel the first kicks! I remember with Crue I was on a flight back to Utah (I think he didn't like the air pressure change) when I first felt his kicks and man was he kicking for awhile! Pretty incredible. I need to call you! Thanks for calling me a few weeks ago... I am soo excited for your baby girl!!!!
