5 Month Appointment - 11/20

Well, everything is looking great. I finally gained some weight. I gained 8 lbs!!! For a grand total fo 10 lbs, so far. My dr. isn't too worried as I haven't gained too much before this month.

I'm feeling really great! I started feelinng the baby kick on the 13th. Its really strange feeling, that makes me really excited! I can't wait for Robert to feel it.

We finally have our BIG ultrasound on Friday, December 15th at 11:15. If all works out we will try to find out the gender of our little hitchhiker. What is awesome is that Mom and Dad J will be in town, and will go with us to our appointment!!

Everything else is going awesome.

Robert felt it!!

For several days I have been trying ot have Robert feel the baby move, but the baby wasn't cooperating. I'm sure this is only the beginning of our struggles :) We were laying down today and I had Robert keep his hand on my belly. He was like I can't tell if thats you breathing or the baby kicking.... Well, the baby must have heard him, and gave me a swift kick! I think it shocked Robert, that he could feel it some well. Fun Stuff ~~

There really is something in there....

Finally on November 13th, I felt the baby move!!!

Of course, I had been at my friend Jill's house whining about the baby not moving. I was driving home from her house and stuck in traffic and I felt it. I felt it several times again that evening!! Like little punches or kicks in my lower belly.

It was really weird and so exciting, all at the same time!!!
