Just within the last day I've finally realized that these movement feelings I've been having in my gut are probably the baby moving and karate chopping and ninja kicking my innards. Up until just a day ago I just assumed it was gas because lets face it, pregnant women are gas QUEENS. I don't know what it is about being pregnant but even before you know you are knocked up you have already started farting. Hell, it was my very first symptom but I just assumed I must have eaten something that didn't like me b/c I certainly didn't feel pregnant yet and it was too early to take a test. I would wake up and walk to the bathroom and the first thing I did was fart. For me this was strange but I didn't really think much of it. Now of course being older and wiser I know that was the first sign that I was pregnant. Farts. Awesome.
I've got to say these movements are a pretty cool feeling. They don't hurt b/c the baby is still very small. As of now the baby measures approximately 5.5 inches crown to rump. So that's not even including those little ninja kicking legs. How about that!?! I still have a hard time believing that something is growing inside of me. I'm sure once the baby gets bigger and starts kicking the ever loving shit out of my intestines and bladder I'll take that back. But as of now these little movements are a welcome feeling.
The only complaint I have as of now is that I cannot sleep. My assumption is that this is just going to continue to get worse too so that totally sucks ball sack. I've gained about 7 pounds and so I'm not a TON bigger and have a long ways to go but I already feel like this pressure is on me when I lay down and then I can't get comfortable. I am waking up just about every hour during the night usually just to switch positions. Having a belly means not sleeping on your stomach (which sucks) and pregnant women aren't supposed to sleep on their back b/c of some pressure from the baby/uterus pressing on a main artery and cutting off blood supply (which also sucks) so I just can't seem to get comfortable. This is where alcohol would definitely come in handy to help me sleep but damn the man I can't have that either. So basically I'm screwed.
Coming up next Thursday is our BIG ultrasound! I can't even explain to you how excited I am to find out if this baby has a peen or a vajayjay. But it is eating me up inside I'm so excited!
Speaking of eating... Gotta go. I'm hungry now.
Because no post is complete w/o a picture please enjoy this lovely photo of Kobe with wonk eye.

this is so exciting! i wish i could remember what my poor sis did to sleep when she was preggers. i seem to remember that she had a very hard time sleeping. as far as i know she didn't have a FART issue, but she had another bad issue. i don't even want to mention it, as i don't want to jinx you!
boy or girl? boy or girl? or one of each!!!! :)
hugs to kobe and his wonk eye! he is adorable! :)
I'm fairly certain that's the eye of "I don't support anything that involves me having to share attention".
Just think how tough it is for rednecks to sleep with their beer gut.
I guess it's true what they say about 'a mile in your shoes.'
The more you know.
Get a body pillow. They help.
Yuck, I hate farting. Another reason why I should never get pregnant... ;)
OH MY GOD!
YOU'RE PREGNANT???
Tells you how long I've been out of the loop! Congrats! It's so exciting.
Tiger is 7 months now. I can't believe it. Enjoy the pregnacy. It get a fuck ton harder after the baby comes.
Kisses.
Alien baby! But I bet it's the cutest alien baby EVER. I hope you can sleep lover. And eat up! I'm going to take advantage of that when and if I get preggers ever....ummm, universe I'm not asking for it now, ok?
KOBEEEE!
I'll match your fart and raise you a smelly, wet burp. Pregnant woman are disgusting. Good thing we're already married because there could be no recruiting in our current with our current state of bloated gassiness.
Can't wait to her what you're having! We're cheating and going to a 3D ultrasound at 17 weeks.
Ohhhhh, the flutters. I loooooved the flutters. Have you bought a body pillow? It helped me sleep a bit better. There is also a wedge that you can prop under your tummy. : )
B has that same wonk eye in pictures. True story.
