Kick Me Baby One More Time!!

Okay that was kind of a sad Britney reference... but anyways... :)

Last night, I had trouble falling asleep - so I watched a movie in bed. As I was laying there, the baby started having a kick fest! For an hour straight (11PM - 12AM) she was kicking and punching and flipping around... I could actually see my belly "pop" each time she kicked! It was the most amazing thing! I woke Gerald up so he could feel the baby kick (since he hasn't yet) but the poor guy was so tired he fell right back to sleep.

Today marks our 20 week mark! We are officially half way through the pregnancy! That makes it seem like we have a long way to go, but really this has gone by very fast so far. It's interesting all the things people don't mention to expect when you're pregnant - in other words, all the not-so-conversation-friendly things. I would go into more detail - but my parents may be reading this. :)

Baby's First Hiccups :o)

This morning around 6:20 AM I woke up to a weird flutter... it kind of felt like the baby was lightly kicking me, but it was repetitive and in the same spot... I realized the baby had the hiccups!! It was so cute, and had I not been laying in the position I was, I probably wouldn't have felt it because I couldn't feel it with my hand - I could only feel it internally. It didn't last very long - maybe only 5-10 minutes or so. :) I'm sure the baby didn't think it was as cute as I did, though!
