I’m pleased to say we hit a milestone Wednesday night. I felt baby H kicking/moving around for the first time! It was the most wonderful and strange feeling I’ve ever experienced. It felt like bubbles or popcorn popping right behind my belly button. It was crazy! It kind of freaked me out, because I was by myself when it happened, Clint was already in bed and I was laying down watching TV and when it started I bolted up right and just sat there. I didn't know what to do. Do I move? Stay still? Walk around? Should I wake up Clint? I had all these thoughts hit me at once. It ended up only lasting a few minutes but I was afraid if I did the wrong thing it would stop. But I knew exactly what it was the moment it happened because I’ve been obsessively reading up on it, wondering when I was going to start feeling it. Most people start feeling movement around 16-20 weeks and I'm just now 17 weeks so I figured it was around the corner. I haven’t felt it since but that’s okay. At least I know him/her is moving around in there.J It actually was perfect timing because I had been sick the last couple days with a cold and that helped cheer me up. It was like baby was trying to comfort me. Poor Clint, I think he felt left out when I told him.
Countdown to gender reveal starts now! We are officially 6 days from finding out what we are having. My appointment is on Thursday, December 8th at 10:00 a.m. So excited! Everyone seems to think it’s a girl, except for Jeaux she’s sticking strong with boy. So we’ll know if we are team pink or blue soon enough. My votes girl too if I had to take a guess. I have a feeling this last week is going to be the longest week of my life. Now I just have to get through the weekend without thinking about it constantly.
Luckily I have some things to keep me occupied. I’ve got a lot of my Christmas shopping done online, just need to pick up a few more things. I’m going to start going through our closets and purging clothes and shoes I no longer wear or don’t fit anymore. Which right now is half of my closet. I had gotten a few maternity tops a couple weeks ago but I’m going to have to order more. The few tops that still fit just aren’t long enough, and let's face it pretty snug. So I guess I’ll be doing that this weekend to.
That’s about it. I’ll post pictures of the tree and the house once Clint gets the lights put up (if he ever gets the lights put up). Happy Friday!
