He does flips in my belly and moves all over the place-- especially the other night after I ate a homemade cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting...mmm..... Perhaps too much sugar for that little dude.... he was literally "bouncing off the walls" that night! It is so fun to be able to feel him moving around in there. Sometimes it kind of weirds me out... in a freaky Alien sort of way.... Okay, so it doesn't really freak me out, it is just so crazy/amazing! <strong><em><span style="color:#3366ff;">There is a little person inside me!</span></em></strong> And sometimes it catches me off guard when I feel something bash against my belly from the inside! </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">It is neat that <strong><em><span style="color:#3366ff;">Steve can feel him moving already</span></em></strong>. I am always making Steve put his hand on my belly in attempts to feel the movements. <strong><em><span style="color:#3366ff;">I want Steve to be as much a part of the experience as possible.</span></em></strong> Of course, Steve claims to have a calming effect on the baby. Most of the time all the flipping stops as soon as Steve's hand touches my belly. But, he actually felt him for the first time at about 17 or 18 weeks. I first started feeling movements against my hand at about 16 weeks. At the time I wasn't sure if that was really it, but now I'm pretty sure that's what it was. Because, over the weeks it has just gradually increased and become stronger and more noticeable. And now there is no mistaking it! I've even <strong><em><span style="color:#3366ff;">SEEN my belly move</span></em></strong> once when he did some crazy acrobatic move! </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Of course the excitment is increasing..... unfortunately <span style="color:#009900;">the worrying hasn't DECREASED as much as I'd hoped :) </span></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Over the past week, I've noticed my <strong><em><span style="color:#009900;">belly becoming hard</span></em></strong> sometimes. I freaked out at first, afraid of what it could mean. Isn't it too early for <strong><em><span style="color:#009900;">Braxton Hicks?</span></em></strong> Sometimes it seems to stay hard most of the day, then another day it will hardly do it at all. I finally called my doctor and she said it could be contractions and I could just be starting to feel Braxton Hicks. She told me to try to time them and see if there is any regularity to them. I am having a hard time trying to time them.... Sometimes I don't even notice it start. I just put my hand on my belly and realize it's hard and I think, "How long has it been like that??" It doesn't hurt. Sometimes it gets a little uncomfortable just because it stays tight for so long. Anyway, <strong><em><span style="color:#009900;">any input from any of you experiences mothers out there would be greatly appreciated!</span></em></strong></span><br /></div>Jennihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04279679738951743276noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509875120829477682.post-5147819049717668662009-03-07T10:35:00.000-05:002009-03-07T11:07:58.732-05:00What will he look like???<div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;">Dad</span></div><p align="left"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310470988791118914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 286px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI49Hs0_PZzAdnii29iI0wwzmsAPn4pwgehO7ihosg4WjXSqJN1zBcETSboykOuvrNxNnTcOMk6V3B8thPTC8oKoVaZMtqAv-7vv7CVVrpIAEaVYHJajju9VdLWW0FthEjKjFHYBTCtAhL/s400/daddy.jpg" border="0" /></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310477362191177794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 286px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1IwEIZl2nrFIL-9Dv1FOk7vMfuFlmLewyQcT2G3N11zkjnI8PjD0Uo3rhuapBvPvEqUvk88N7Yg4dTeJqWYZReG1HBMx1P2dH62hXxpJvf1LtBQ5FRo1wLRw0Sou3mYe6R0-MzNUYNGZo/s400/daddy2.jpg" border="0" /> </p><p> </p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;">Mom</span><br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310470999571401010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 286px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA4Ngg2hlKxh9NGKS6uzhvJU21f-M6udTxYkBE6lxFe55acxybozfUs5Ng6kvVbmQQ9zbcbBlOz-l1NCmDoMTPH0Yo0FiKY2CpboPVSc2ptWMY4cgxYR9BTSa3dDuVAV_A-rEaEcNVAgDj/s400/mommy.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310477373163711170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 286px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSuJRium4f1UkrEA6WHGDXSIQ_mHJ-etCZwa3HdjbCp3u74vyTjTsF4TCHSzIzfH2-8PSkpHPpWqByxgH5sgjEDBxC5Ss9c7TxyU_efstgP2wqcTalnfBWWv5NJlk7yrhmoQ4YTKOQoHV0/s400/mommy2.jpg" border="0" />Jennihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04279679738951743276noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509875120829477682.post-46927466024876485422009-03-05T16:54:00.000-05:002009-03-05T17:03:09.819-05:00It's a.....<div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;">BOY!!!</span></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309825847420689890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 286px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx7FOoA-8G16DVJqWiq4zhs-pcLY9AcfiZNG8f9KEJ-AQhEkPfb3qjqmvrJU0hPtewGwf4s5GBMRahXQ54ccksobUy4MqAz_ELNN9tAhSiAeCcwgkI7fE9d7skrzBmuH3rRJj_muBlsgbu/s400/TollerBabe.jpg" border="0" /><br /></span><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">So, I am not really suprised.

I have been taking Prometrium (a progesterone supplement) through the entire pregnancy so far. My last doctor decided he thought my body didn't produce enough progesterone on its own and that is why I kept miscarrying. But, yesterday I stopped taking the Prometrium. I guess once you hit twelve weeks, the baby and placenta should be producing enough progesterone on their own, and your body doesn't need to anymore. It was kind of scary to just STOP taking it.... but, that's what they said to do! And that's what my new doctor said as well... so..... no more Prometrium for me! </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">For now, I think things are still progressing. I have started to feel <strong><em>less sick</em></strong>, but that is supposed to be normal when you hit the end of your first trimester. I hit a peak of sickness when I was 10 weeks along, where I was throwing up 2 to 3 times a day! But, then it slowly subsided. I still am sensitive to smells, but not as bad. And I still throw up maybe once on most days. Some days I make it through without! And this week I actually cooked dinner a couple of times! </span></div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span>Jennihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04279679738951743276noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509875120829477682.post-36058757939710664352009-01-14T21:10:00.000-05:002009-01-14T21:16:22.928-05:00Evidence....<div align="center"> <strong><span style="font-size:180%;">11 weeks, 4 days<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291338476605050498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJoLJPvLMHmkbXkriU-BQJiukYdwPZ5dn79zPtw4iAgG4PFOuQ3m6q4dLw84Q0QXktEKo5B6OfEJ7Ua3DtqmE1QfxZUxdCxpFJGf9E2Cq0JJYWeiv_H9S8GQpvgYDgUdeUeDtq5GheJScu/s400/minibelly.jpg" border="0" /></span></strong></div>Jennihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04279679738951743276noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509875120829477682.post-12572129820808000932009-01-05T23:17:00.000-05:002009-01-14T21:40:10.313-05:00Meet the Doc<div align="center"> <span style="font-size:130%;">Had my first appointment with the Doctor today. She is SOOO awesome. I really like her. She ended up using a little doppler thing to check for a heartbeat. She said you can't always hear it this early on.... but she said "you're so thin, we just might." Sure enough, that little heart was still beating! What a relief! She said "And that's not just a whimpy heart beat either... that is a strong little heart beat." </span></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291344411536100162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 186px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHBjCP7nXzObS7DLnLafVmmHngM0c2JpbVvJdGixk7Ezhg1a-bqGFlqGFHix6aXiZEuBXcZIdNpvPCoHACho6VyPjjR0lUZEtYAooOdPcuPofRyW1KRMARKKcxL0YEJqPo0TRyAdiSEL31/s200/heart.png" border="0" /><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Hooray! 10 weeks and 2 days down!
