"Flutterings"


Okay, sorry about the wait, I have to do the updates on my own time and not at work, so that’s why it takes so long.

So about “fluttering”. Apparently, my child is as graceful as I am. I have not felt the “flutter” sensation. I have felt the outright deliberate shoving movements of my child. There are no flutterings, or butterfly wings….rather a hard shove and a rolling baby.

Not enough for the outside people to feel, but I tell ya, when this kid moves, it lets me know! It moves as if to say, “Hey Lady!!!! I’m movin’ here! You mind!?!”

On another note, I have been having a lot of baby boy dreams. Hum….wonder what that could mean……

Jordan has been gone, and I tell you, I am a lost sad little person without him. I stay up too late, and eat bad junk food. He’s my rock and he’s not here. The baby misses him to. I can tell (yes I can tell…..it’s my baby).

But….oh yeah! New this week, the baby can make faces and suck its thumb. Its 5 inches long, and soon it will double its length. So in the next few weeks, be expecting a growth spurt. And it moves a lot around the 5:30 and 7:00 am morning times as well as 5:30 evening time.

I have my next two doctor appointments on July 5th and July 19th. Everyone, keep your fingers crossed that the baby cooperates on the 19th. That’s “THE” ultrasound! We are going to find out if it’s a boy or girl very, very, very soon! Hopefully it won’t have its legs crossed……

I am so psyched to find out. We might keep the rest of you in suspense for a while though (when you all get pregnant, you can pay us back for this mean trick). We told you all right away when we got pregnant, but now…we might want a little secret for just the three of us. We haven’t had one of those kind of family secrets yet. And no, we don’t, “have to at least tell the immediate family”. We don’t have to tell anyone. In fact, I really want to have this be just between Jordan and I for a little while. You all will eventually find out, but maybe for a few weeks, we just keep it to ourselves.

You all can wait until we want to share. So there. There are no laws stating otherwise. Call me mean, call me selfish, but this will be the first thing in this pregnancy for just Jordan and I.

But that’s all…nothing more to update, Perhaps once the 20th week rolls around we’ll have more exciting news, but for now, that’s it.

Love you all1

Hallelujah! Second trimester is here! I passed all my morning sickness a few weeks ago anyway, but this is a milestone in our baby's life. It is 3 1?2 inches long and if I am going to get stretch marks, it'll start showing this month. By the end of this month it will have fully formed and pronounceable sex organs.......

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, start your bidding, because very soon we'll know the sex of the baby! I have absolutely no idea what it will be, so no polling on my "hunch" because it's not there. Also, Jordan and I are still questioning whether or not we're gonna tell you! Ha ha!

Anyway. Our child will learn to breath this week and start peeing amniotic fluids....grrreeeeaaat. Lookin forward to it. Thanks kid. But at least It's getting big. 3 1/2 inches doesn't seem like a lot, but measure it out....no really, go grab a ruler and measure it. It's huge! The website we visit said an apple size kind, but that is one of those HUGE big red ones that they are referring to. This kid is getting to "coo-coo threatening" sizes.

But is also is moving. I have felt it only a few times. I am actually okay with that because that just means a few extra nights of uninterrupted sleep without a kick to my ribs or my lungs. And it's getting harder to bend over. It hurts! So, Jordan, we have a few pedicures to start looking forward to wherein I can not paint my own toe nails.

Other than that, God is good to us, and we still need a few more things in place before we can consider moving into another place. Our house is just not big enough. Not in the respect of a tiny baby, but more for the fact that this tiny baby has a bunch of crap already, and we don't have room for it. So please keep praying about that.

I just also have to say, I love my hubby. He is so cool about my need for french fires and weird food. He hardly complains when I want a specific food. He just complies and helps me get what I want. And I know he is totally willing to paint my toe nails for me. I have a great husband. Thanks you Jordan for being so sweet to me and understanding of my crazy-lady tendencies.

Love you all, I'll keep you posted with the next update.
