another installment of pregnancy ramblings

The baby kicked me about a million times yesterday! It was amazing! I haven't felt him/her in a week! It happened while eating lunch and then again a bunch of times at Bible School. I love that feeling. It's so awesome to know that my little one is in there moving all around saying, "mommy, I'm here!" It'll be nice when it's strong enough that Jon can feel it. I'm sure he'll enjoy that. It's just so weird to know that I have a person growing inside of me. Just amazing!



I can't stop thinking about my ultrasound! It's in 11 days and I just can't wait!!! I'm so anxious to see my baby and find out the gender!!! I just want to know! Of course my ultrasound is at 6 in the evening so Jon can make it. It's going to be hard to wait all day!!! I'll have to keep busy that day!



I'm going to my parents house on Monday morning. I'm excited. I miss them. All this week has been Bible school. Today is the last day. I'm kinda happy because it's been rough being there for 3 hours every evening. I've been watching the kids that are too little to come and it's been rough on my belly. I held the one little girl almost the entire time on Wednesday and had some really bad cramps that night and yesterday. So yesterday I had my helper hold her. She doesn't weigh much at all but after a while, it begins to feel like a lot!



The week after I come back from my parents house, I'm going to attempt potty training again. I'm only doing it because everyone tells me I'm supposed to. Kayden has no interest at all though. He doesn't like the potty, so not sure how you get someone who doesn't like the potty to want to go on it. He'll sit there without getting up until I tell him to but he's miserable about it the entire time, even if I try to make it more enjoyable. So we'll see. And if I put underwear on him and he poops in them, I really don't think my pregnant self will be able to clean them! It'll be just gross!!!!



At least I'm not really nauseous anymore. I just get heartburn now. That's not fun. Hopefully that doesn't last the rest of the pregnancy! I also feel like my belly is huge! I haven't gained any weight. I've lost 5 since my first appt. Sometimes my belly just feels like it's going to explode- like there's something in there (yes I know there is.. haha) and it's taking up all the space and it's just going to burst because there's no more room!!! It felt like that last night.



When I told my mom about the baby kicking so much yesteday she told me that the "twins" were fighting. She really wants twins! I really think we would've known by now. There was this post on babycenter.com from someone wanting to know if anyone got surprised at their 20 week ultrasound with twins. I thought that was kinda funny since I've been thinking about the possibility of that. That would just be crazy wouldn't it?



So that's all of my pregnancy ramblings for now. Kayden is still sleeping! It's so peaceful and quiet here! :-) I have a lot to do today though so I better get started! Bye!
