Baby Gymnastics

As you can tell from the post below, our little girl has been very active lately. Particularly when she hears dogs barking...that's just started in the last week or so. Last night she was the most active she's been...she acutally pushed up against my belly, moving the book I was resting there. It was wild....the first time I thought....Holy Cow! There really is a tiny little human being in there! Ryan was so psyched. It was adorable...he put his head to my belly and started talking to her and sure enough, she kicked his head a few times. It was such a touching few minutes for me...it really hit me that we're starting this little family here and that's so exciting.

I have also found what might be as great an invention as the Bella Band...it's the bra extender. I have grown from a C/D cup to a DD cup, so I bought a few new bras. However, they felt tight and constricting and gave me stomach aches. I was at Motherhood Maternity on Sunday buying some jeans, and the woman told me about these magic little extenders. I've been wearing them for two days now and I am in heaven! I'm still uncomfortable by the end of the day, but for the rest of the day I feel no pain. It's amazing!

Not much else to report really...my health has been great in general. A few stomach issues here and there, but nothing too bad. I have to be careful with overdoing it now...spent most of the day Saturday cleaning and had serious back pain that night and into Sunday. Also learning that heels are no longer my best friend. Not that I won't still wear them, but...everything in moderation, right?! Have my next doctor's appointment on Monday...then we leave the following Sunday for Key West. Busy busy! This weekend will be low key though...just me and my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...baby's gonna get her Harry Potter fix! Now there's an idea-we could get the audio books of all the Harry Potters and play them for the baby...hmmm....
