Whew! 15 Weeks to go!! (Well, a little under 14 now, if you wanna get technical) I always thought my belly would be stretched to the max and I'd be waddling around like one of the geese on Aristocats by now, but, it seems as though my baby bump hasn't grown very much since around 18 weeks or so and my 'waddling' is still at a minimum. (Although, I will admit, it is there and Zach likes to remind me) My mom didn't get very big when she was pregnant with me, and my pregnancy has been extremely similar to hers, from what she tells me, but I've got a feeling sometime within the next few weeks I'll wake up one morning and my belly will be HUGE! We shall see...I have 1 week left in my 2nd trimester and some of my 1st trimester symptoms are already starting to come back. Let the fun begin...Nausea, dizziness, tense shoulders, fatigue...yep, it's all too familiar. The 'What To Expect When You're Expecting' book said this would happen. I was just hoping it wouldn't for at least a few more weeks but nope, it's back, whether I like it or not. At least now I get to enjoy all of his movements (more like acrobatics) this time. 1st trimester, you just have to get through it, but this time I have him to giggle at while I'm trying my hardest to ignore the constant 'yucky' feeling in my gut. Speaking of Koda and his antics, this little one is quite the mover/shaker. He already has his own little routine each day. In the morning around 7:15/7:30 he wakes up and gets to kickin'. (I think it's because he knows his daddy his about to be home) Then, while I eat breakfast and pick up around the house, he takes a little nap. When I sit down to watch a movie or get on the computer, he wakes up and will bounce around on and off. This is one of my favorite times because I can just sit back and watch my belly bounce, which makes me laugh. He's already so funny =] Throughout the rest of the day he sleeps, or gets still, quite a bit. Every now and then he'll move around just to let me know he's in there. He wakes up again when it's bed time. Zach and I will lay there with our hands on my belly and laugh when he kicks us. Zach told me that this morning while I was asleep, he kicked him for about 5 minutes straight. He also said that it wasn't his usual light kicks, he said he was kicking HARD and that he was surprised it didn't wake me up. =] I like hearing about these moments because it's like it was just between them. Pretty special! Alright, enough of my jibber jabber, here's my update!
