He kicked me in the face :)

So last night Justin thought he felt Flip for the first time. He was laying his head on my belly and talking to Flip. I started feeling little taps around where he was talking. So I put his hand where the taps were. Everytime I felt something I was like "did you feel that?". "No." Then I felt another one and he was like "Oh my gosh I think I felt that on my cheek." It was so funny. He didn't feel anything else, but it was pretty neat.
Flip kicked his daddy in the face. :) haha

19 weeks

Time is flying! Here is my 19 week picture...18 week on the left.



This isn't a very good comparison picture. I'm not facing straight to the side in this week's picture, but I'm sure you get the point. Only a week and a half until we find out what Flip is. We might have narrowed down the girl's name, but I'm not saying anything yet cause I don't want to jinx it. I'm sure after we find out what we're having, if it's a girl, we'll make a decision pretty quickly. I guess that's about it. I feel little Flip every once in a while (I think). Still nothing real definite or consistent. I'm sure that will increase soon enough.

guilt

Nothing like motherly guilt...especially before your kid's even born.

I wanted some cake last night so I made one...at 8:00 pm. Didn't get to eat any until 9:30 or so cause I had to wait for it to cool so I could ice it.

I had a piece for lunch and now I feel totally guilty. I had an apple and raisins for a mid morning snack, but they just weren't doing it for me I guess.

paranoia

Is it possible to knock my baby loose trying to pop my back?

feeling pregnant

This morning I woke up and I felt pregnant. I sat up in bed and there was this big belly in the way. I said something to Justin about it...he reached over and felt my belly and was like, wow. It's hard this morning...So I don't know if Flip was just in a weird position or what. It was actually kind of hard to sit up. Weird!!

Weekly pic

So I took the 2nd pic myself...that's why it is further away. The one on the left is 17 weeks, the right is 18 weeks.

There have been several instances this weekend that I thought I was feeling Flip, but I'm still just not sure. I think I'll know for sure when I get a swift kick in the ribs. The countdown is continuing for our "big" ultrasound. 15 days. We are headed to College Station next weekend for a visit. I'm super pumped about that. Let's see...oh yeah, I have been thinking about nursery decorations. Disclaimer: Justin has no idea about this. Surprise! :) Yes, you can have an opinion about it, but I doubt you will...unless you really hate it.

For a girl...with less zebra. It's a little overwhelming the way it is. No wall border, pink walls or chandeleir.



For a boy...I'm having a hard time finding what I'm looking for. I want something baby blue and chocolate brown. Oddly enough, it's been pretty hard to find from what I've seen so far. Besides that I don't really have any ideas for boys. Baseball maybe, or Noah's ark?

All we need now is to know what kinda kiddo I'm growing in here and we can get the road on the show. :)

Oh yeah...I found a website that predicts what your labor is going to be like...this is what it said.

Madame Zaritska, using her mystical powers, has the following prediction:The day you deliver, outside will be misty. Your baby will arrive in the evening. After a labor lasting approximately 10 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 7 pounds, 7 ounces, and will be 16 inches long. This child will have light violet eyes and a lot of blonde hair.

A 16 inch long baby? Hmmm...I dunno Madame Zaritska...

quick update

I haven't taken my weekly picture yet, but I did take a picture in regular clothes just to show you how much I've grown in the past week. I feel like I'm huge already. I don't know what's in store for me, but I'm interested to see. :) Still haven't gained any weight, though (according to the cheap scales I bought at Walmart yesterday). Still not complaining...


Weekly pajama picture to come...
