The Babe

I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going. I feel extremely blessed for the way I've been feeling so far. Besides those first six weeks, I've felt great. I don't even feel pregnant except for when I look down and see my ever growing tummy. I pray in gratitude everyday for the way this has all been going. We had our 20 week recently. It's crazy how the words "she has all four chambers in her heart" and "look there are two kidneys" can make my little heart melt. Our little babe is such a good girl growing all her parts like she should. Oh PS...we are having a GIRL!!! I've told a lot of people, but I never made one big announcement about it. I kept meaning to, but I wanted to upload pictures of us finding out and I struggle SO MUCH uploading pictures on our computer so I put off a lot of blogging. My friend Lindsay is an ultrasound tech and scanned me, but Trent couldn't be there (this was ultrasound #3 by the way. Our little one is quite the modest one...and she'd better stay that way :) Ha ha, anyway I really wanted to find out with Trent so Lindsay took a picture and then burned it on a CD for me to take home. That night Trent and I sat at our computer together and pulled up the CD that said "It's girl".
Trent and I both thought it was a girl from the beginning. Let's be honest, we had a 50/50 chance, but we both felt strong about it.

I'd better take back what I said about not feeling pregnant at all. I guess I just meant I haven't felt sickly pregnant. I'm definitely noticing all the changes. I have been feeling her for about two weeks now. Crazy feeling!!! It feels like there is a little snake or goldfish inside me. I don't feel kicks or anything, I feel slithers. Ha ha, I love when I poke her and she pokes/slithers back. It's awesome!!! I've also started visiting the bano much more frequently. I used to never wake up in the night to go to the restroom. Well, those days are over. Will I ever see them again? One can dream right? Ha ha, I get up at least once, sometimes more, a night. The sleeping on the stomach days are just about over, in fact they might be done. I have started to feel more emotional as well. I have been pretty non-emotional so far. Well, not non-emotional, I was emotional before I got pregnant, but I didn't feel EXTRA emotional...until this week. I think the waterwork hormones are finally kicking in. In fact, as I'm sitting here typing this Trent asked me what I was writing about. I said "our baby" and he said what are you saying. I started reading it to him and when I got to the part that I said "It's crazy how the words....." I started crying, I couldn't even read it to him. Ha ha, the tears have been flowing a little more freely this past week.
Anyway, things are going well and I couldn't be happier about this whole experience so far. "Little girl, I'm kind of fond of you" :)
