And AGAIN I lost a post!
Something funky is going on with my internet service, and it keeps going out when I'm almost done writing, and then the page reloads, sans post. And by then my brain is tired and doesn't want to start all over again.
Really annoying.
Anyway.
What I was trying to tell you is... she kicked!
I was sitting in a movie theater today, watching Gary Oldman be his usual brilliant self in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy... and she kicked!
Not just once, not just twice, but three times! And then a couple more for good measure.
Apparently, Little Girl likes spy movies.
And popcorn.
It was pretty amazing... and I cannot wait to feel her moving and kicking more and more.
Tomorrow I go in for my twenty week ultrasound (though I'm not officially twenty weeks until Tuesday). I'm nervous, even though I feel confident that everything will be fine.
Mostly, though, I'm super excited. I can't wait to hear her heartbeat again and see her moving around. And she's big enough now (almost the length of a banana!) that I should be able to really see her.
There were so many times over the last couple of years when I really, really wanted to throw in the towel on this whole trying-to-get-pregant thing. When I stopped believing. When everything felt hopeless.
But I kept on going. I kept moving.
And now I get to feel Little Girl moving in my belly.
Doesn't get much better than that.
MAJOR! So exciting!

You'll find that no other feeling in your life will ever compare to feeling your baby growing and moving inside you.
It was all worth it wasn't it? Wait until you first lay your eyes on Baby Girl. You have SO much joy coming your way. You're going to be a family!!
Hugs and blessings!!!

Very exciting! Savor the 20 week ultrasound. I saw my son sucking his thumb at that one and expected it to get better for the 36 week ultrasound. By then he was too big to get as good a view. I have 10 days to go until he gets here. It's an emotional time!

HOW EXCITING FOR YOU!!! The greatest feeling in the world! Just wait until the summersaults start. I remember sitting in Ed Milkovich's office when Charlotte did a complete 360. It looked like the famous scene in Alien... Needless to say, Ed was his usual yelling self. I think he made me sign a contract stating that I would not give birth in the production office.
Can't wait to hear the update on LG the banana's progress! 20 week is "measurement day," right (bones and length and whatnot)? It seems like only yesterday that she was the size of a blueberry!
HUGS!

Another post that made me cry, but they are such happy tears of joy for you and little girl!! My only other post was about feeling that baby kick for the first time and now it has happened. You have turned into your own home entertainment center. You can sit for hours and just watch your tummy move around in amazement, wonder and love:)
