Rockin' In The USA

Happy week 19! I have posted two pictures from my trip to America. I had SO much fun and loved visiting with my family and friends. It meant so much to share a part of my pregnancy with those close to my heart! I left America with an extra suitcase full of baby things! I have managed to put it all away today and do several loads of laundry. The first picture is of the toy box I bought today to put all of the little toys and books. My favourite toy is a monster that, when you squeeze it, it says "blaaaaaaa". Cracks me up every time.
The baby is still kicking away. He kicked all the way from Chicago to Tokyo and slept from Tokyo to Chicago, but when he heard his daddy's voice in Sydney he started kicking again. It was SO cute. The kicking is cute when it isn't on my kidneys or bladder. My kidneys are actually sore from it...but I love feeling it below my belly button. I have gained 4.7 kilos so far (roughly 10 lbs). Right on target.
I see my GP at the end of the week and get my referal to the birthing center and the obstetrician. EXCITING!
Again, thank you for a good time in America! I had a ball...it went fast...and I promised Myles all three of us will be back to visit before he turns 6.

Yes Sir, That's My Baby

I have been slack...too much to do, too little time. I blinked and I missed it.
I had my anomaly scan today. Every thing looks good. Baby wasn't in a good position and not many of the pics that came back are worth sharing. I have 3 posted - hands, feet, and head with hands. Baby was being modest and no gender was determined. Aw. Maybe next time.
I'm feeling fine. Baby moves all the time and likes to aim for my bladder. Probably thinks it's pretty funny...
I leave for Indiana tomorrow morning. I can't wait to see everyone!!

Break Me Off A Piece Of That...

Week 15...no picture. I pretty much look the same as I did last week. I finally bought 2 pair of maternity pants. They are SO comfy!! I had to go to the dentist last week also as I woke up with a horrific toothache. Luckily all they needed to do was fill it (and they filled two others while I was there). It took 3 shots to get me numb and I STILL could fill them drilling. Hypersensitivity... To comfort myself afterwards, I bought a maternity pillow. Bean seems to be doing well. Although I stand corrected...my sister points out that we are no longer dealing with a bean, but a kit kat, so the name should be changed. SO...Kit Kat is an active one. I was listening to the heartbeat yesterday and it was just moving all over the place. And for the past couple of nights I have felt weird fluttering sensations in my belly. I think it could be Kit Kat...certainly doesn't feel like anything I've experienced before.
