Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming

The baby has been "swimming" allot lately. It has been going on the past couple weeks after I finally figured out what it was I was feeling.
It is really weird and really hard to describe, its like a fish swimming in you, or someone tickling you on the inside?? I don't know its hard to explain, but I know its the baby because its something I've never felt before.
I don't feel it very often because it has so much room to swim around in there that it isn't always touching my uterus, but it is much more active if Ive been laying down for a while.
So last night I was laying down and had been on my left side for quite some time and the baby was really active so I decided to press on it AND
IT PRESSED BACK!!!!
So I made Ean press on my tummy and it took a couple tries but he felt it too!!
It is so cool and weird :)

Super Sized

This is what I was telling myself in the dressing room and I actually make Ean tell me "honey you look really pregnant" instead of "honey you look really pretty"


ya well you get the picture.



I also am having alot of troubles finding anything that fits and looks good, Maternity shirts, Even in sm are to big and look like tarps on me and large reg. clothes are sorta tight, like my belly really sticks out. My last pair of jeans doesn't fit anymore even though I ware them but have to unbutton them when I sit down, I don't know what it is with the weird maternity pants but I really don't want to wear them and I don't want to get that huge...but I guess its time to face reality...as Ean said "hun, your gonna get like 3x's as big as you are now"
ummm...thank you?


So recently I have gotten much bigger (I took a pic but can't download it till I find the cord)like it gets in my way bigger, I can't squeeze through chairs at lunch, or behind wheel chairs, between doors.
And since it is officially summer I have had to buy a swimming suit, which in fact is stylish/cute but I still feel like people think Im just fat and not pregnant, especially when I go to the pool with my skinny friends...but I enjoy it any way.
If you would like to see my stylish non maternity swim suit come to mom's on the 4th, although at the rate we are growing I may have a new one.

155 days to go!

I had an appointment on friday
I gained 5lbs...last apt I lost 2 so we're doin good
The baby's heart beat was 144bpm
and they actually measured me with a tape measure and she said Im measuring normal.
I'm really starting to show now, before it was kinda questionable but now I think its pretty obvious Im pregnant. I think it just popped over the weekend.
Ean looked at me sat. night and goes "your starting to look pregnant"
uhhhh....thank you!
I dont feel any movement yet :/

well its time to start looking for a baby sitter....if you live in the MV lisbon area and have any suggestions/recommendations PLEASE let me know!

You know your pregnant when

7 weeks

4months


~you get excited that you pooped!! (constipation is so fun)
~ you count in weeks
~ you cry and laugh at the same time because you don't know why you are crying then your husband looks at you like what am I suppose to do, laugh at you, help you...???
~ People touch your belly even though your barely showing lol
~ You are dreaming about the baby
~ And when your not dreaming your up for hours at night wondering all kinds of things like...how often do you bathe it, when will it eat baby food, how should I brush its teeth...and WHEN CAN I GO OUT FOR A DRINK??!!?!
~ when you spend more time in the bathroom then any other room.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

I will have a pina colada today even if it is virgin all though I reall ylike tequila I will have to sit this cinco de mayo out :(
So my uterus has moved up into the abdomen area because my pants that sit right below or on my hips are falling down and they used to be really tight. I think I need one of those belly wrap things I saw in a magazine, it holds your pants in place. I have a noticeable bump ( I will take a pic soon promise) but it just kinda looks like Im fat lol.
I had my first encounter with people touching my belly. A lady that I work with who only come around about twice a month came today and completely rubbed my belly, it was really kinda weird, but I think once you have kids of your won you get so excited for other people because you know what they are going through, it didn't bother me it was just weird!
On Wed. I will be 3 1/2 months!!
I have noticed a change in my skin, I burn really easy, but thank god it turns to a tan still and doesn't peel. I was out in the sun yesterday, kevin and I walked all over mt.vernon to chalk the walk, cornell campus, on the trail, and back to the car and I got burnt!! Never before would I have burnt like that. I also forgot I was sharing my water suply and got a little dehydrated and had a bad headache last night.
The morning sickness has gone away, I think (knock on wood) and I have gotten some of my energy back!!!

woosha-woosha-woosha

At 152bpm thats our baby's heart beat!!
Ean and I got to hear the heart beat yesterday, it was really cool!
Other then that there really isnt much news to report. The morning sickness is still hanging around, not as bad but it isnt gone. I've lost 2lbs as a result.
My blood type is positive which means I dont have to worry about the Rh factor and having all those shots!! woo hoo :)
Im getting really anxious to meet this little tadpole and I have 6 months to go, but as you all tell me..it will go by fast. But I just can't wait till I can feel it moving!!
