The little Fishy...: )

I felt the baby move for the first time last night. Not like a major kick or anything, but I know for sure that's what it was. I can finally distinguish it from the other gurgling, bubbling, and moving going on in my belly right now. It didn't feel like kicking...or fluttering like they say it should...It was more like I had swallowed a fish and it was swishing and swimming around in my lower belly. lol Crazy! But oh so cool! :) And then it was reaffirmed tonight while me and Miche were doing some Sunday night lounging. And he pushed on my belly to try and get her to move, and she would swish, swish, swish right back. lol it was the coolest thing. So of course Miche had to keep doin' it to make her move around in my belly. lol He's so excited to be able to feel it himself. I think he feels left out. So hopefully it won't be too much longer! :) She just has to get a little bigger and start kickin' a little harder to get through my belly! :) Which by the way, is rounding out and starting to protrude more and more everyday it feels like. :S I'm only 4 months. It shouldn't be this soon right??? :P But I don't think it's just gettin' chubby...pregnancy has taken away my appetite unfortunately. I thought being pregnant was supposed to be the one time you could eat what you want?! What the heck! Oh well! It will all be worth it! And I guess there's nothin' wrong with a pregnancy symptom that helps keep the pregnancy weight down and doesn't require me to vomit right? lol I'll just be glad when I actually start looking pregnant and not just like I ate too much for lunch...:P

A week and a half til we know for sure if she's a girl or grew some boy parts! Yeah!

Yeah!! A girl!!

So I posted this on our family website but I thought I would post it here too and maybe elaborate a little bit on how excited I am! : ) WE'RE HAVIN' A GIRL!!! I can hardly even wait! I have always said that I wanted a boy first, because I always wanted an older brother growin' up. But shortly after I got pregnant I decided that wasn't the case for a couple reasons. First of all baby girls are just SO much fun to dress up! : ) the cute little bows and headbands with the giant flowers, and the cute little clothes and dresses and shoes and the tiny little bracelets! It'll just all be so fun. Also, it seems like everybody around us is havin' a little boy! So I thought it would be fun to have a girl, somethin different. Also, and I suppose this is the more practical reason, I think it helps make you a strong responsible person to be the oldest. And I don't want my daughters to be wimpy little girls! : ) So anyways, I posted a poll of a bunch of names that we like on our family blog, terrytapestry.blogspot.com. So go and vote on them! :)
