Updates

Sorry it has taken me a while to update you all on my life. I've been really busy lately. Last week I was really sick. I don't know what I was sick with, but I would say I have never been so sick in my life. Last week I was able to get the h1n1 vaccine so I am good to go now! Here is a recent picture of my 24 week belly. I feel huge already and I'm not even that big!

Yesterday I had my OB appointment and when the doc put the doppler on my belly to listen to her hearbeat she kicked it really hard! He laughed and asked me if I felt it, and I said "yep!" and then she kicked it about 3 more times. Then this morning around 6:45 I woke up to lots of kicking. I was laying in bed for a bit and put my hand on my stomach. I counted about 20 kicks in 5 min. Then Blake's alarm went off and I told him the baby was kicking and asked him if he wanted to feel. Of course he said yes! We felt the baby kick about another 8 times in the last 2 minutes that his hand was on my belly. A few weeks ago Blake felt her kick, but it wasn't very strong and it just felt like a little flutter. But these were really hard kicks and there was no mistaking it was a baby! This was the most that I have ever felt her move since I have been pregnant! I think we have a gymnast on our hands!

We finally have our room painted! I want to wait until we have everything set up before I take any pictures. Then you can get the full effect of what it will look like when Ava gets here. We are very excited to meet our little girl!
