Fiesty mama!

We are having one fiesty little girl.
Through all of my pre-existing fluff I felt her kicking and punching right below my navel this morning. From the outside!
She did it about 8 times. Tim was asleep and missed all the fun.

22 Week Appointment

Everything went great, not much to report. Blood pressure normal, results of the genetic screen normal, and the heartbeat was normal. I gained another 4 lbs since the last visit, which brings us to a total of what I believe to be 16 lbs. Dr. W counts my prepregnancy weight as the weight I was at when I had my 10 week appointment at my old ObGyn, so according to her I'm only up 10 lbs. I think I like her calculations better.
I found out our little girl really does LOATHE the doppler. When Dr. W put the probe on my stomach, she kicked me so hard that I believe it would've been felt from the outside. Too bad I didn't have my hand there to catch it.
I go back in three weeks for my glucose tolerance test. Oh joy.

Quotes



These are the years, the gentle years,the soft and sentimental years
when wee little fingers reach and touch
and little eyes gaze with wonder and trust,
when you love so tenderly and so so much,
these are the gentle years.

These are the years, the rainbow years, the quiet, walk-on-tiptoes years,
the years of laughter and smiles and sighs
when both of you watch with misty eyes the tiny bed
where a cherub lies,
these are the rainbow years.

These are the years, the tender years, the blissful, sweet-surrender years,
when your little treasure from above
is the soul and purpose and center of your plans and dreams and dearest love,
these are the tender years.
