Hello lil one

Well, finally & officially, after much waiting, I felt the lil one in my belly two nights ago :) I'm so excited. This is the part I look forward to from the moment I get a positive test. Once I can feel it, I feel so much more at ease. I was getting worried because it seemed like it was taking forever but in reality, it wasn't. I felt my oldest at 18-19 wks because he was my first, I suppose. With my youngest, it was 16 wks just like this one. I don't really understand women who say they felt their baby at 9 wks. I mean, c'mon! That is not even physically possible. Drives me nuts. What do you think about it? On a message board I frequent for my due date month, there were many girls who said they felt their baby at 9 wks...10 wks...11 wks, etc. One girl was backing up their claim with this reponse, "Think about it. If you hold a butterfly in your palm, you can feel it. So why wouldn't you be able to feel a live human being inside of you?"


Um...maybe because we have like 2,500 nerve receptors per square centimeter in our hand & I highly doubt there is anything even close to that in our UTERUS!

So far, I am only feelin baby at night when I'm sitting on the computer or cuddled up studying. Just feels like little tickles & bumps here & there. Only 13 more days until the big ultrasound! I'm excited & apprehensive at the same time. I can't decide what's in there by my own "instinct". In my past pregnancies, I've wanted a girl sooo bad, I convinced myself it was a "she"...and was disappointed. Of course, I love  my boys to pieces. and of COURSE, I still want a girl so bad. But something inside tells me it wouldn't be so bad to have 3 boys. It would definitely be insane...it's insane with two! But It would also be fun & boys are easy :) But I long for pink in my life. I'm a girly-girl & I love pink & barbies & dollies & tea parties. Whatever God gives me is what he wants me to have though so I will be happy no matter what!!

I will most definitely update after the ultrasound. Keep thinkin pink!

B.A.B.Y.....noooot quite.

Just the sight of a pregnant belly makes me happy. I love love love being preggo. I love the way everyone stares and smiles, ask questions,how you can wear stretchy waisted pants and cute lil belly shirts and just feel beautiful. It's always been my favorite time.

Uh but the LAST thing I want is to be pregnant at the momento. Just *not* a good time at all. Not enough money, not enough space, not enough car-age. [is that a word?? it is now.] I don't wanna wait TOO long before another [no more than 5 year diff between em] so boy oh boy does that add me some stress.

Oh yeah and I don't want another boy. Really....I don't know if I can *handle* another boy! They are soooo crazy. I know, I know, girls can be too. But EEEEEk, I just can't resist those pinks & purples and flowers & polka dots and all the pretties! I wanna have something besides brown. blue. green. gray. black. in my laundry. Next time I'm planning my pregnancy based on the chinese calendar...it's been right both times for me. What about you?

Check out the chart and see if yours match up, lemme know. I'm curious!

Definitely think 3 will be plenty enough for me. Hey, who knows, I might change my mind and not have another...but I can't resist being preggo just *one* more time.

Just had a thought....what will happen to my boobs after another one of those boobie monsters is done with em? They sure have been through alot....and they're not even close to my pre-baby bod. Wouldn't it be awesome if our body's had no after effects of babies? It's kinda like an earthquake leaves aftershocks, am I right?

So until the day of another baby, I will continue to stare and smile at other mommy-to-be bellies and dream of pink.
