Pregnancy!

I have loved watching my belly grow! I have been pretty luck thus far because I have only gained the weight in the belly & boobs. My doctor says I'm not gaining too much either, she says I'm gaining the right amount which makes me feel good & healthy.

Joe likes seeing the belly grow too, it just makes him more & more excited! At 18 weeks I felt the first "flutters" & then I didn't feel anything for a few days & up until now at 21 weeks I have felt her "flutters" non-stop all day long. Joe gets a bit sad (& jealous) that he can't fully feel her move, but he will. He is just so excited & fun through out this whole pregnancy so far.

But I'm told now that she can have REM sleep, she is sleeping more & thats why I don't feel her AS much. Joe can sometimes feel her move when he touches my belly, but we are still feeling "flutters" & no real kicks yet. I can't wait to start feeling actual kicks! No matter how bad they are going to hurt...I can't wait!

As for sickness, I had really, really bad 'all-day sickness' before I even knew I was pregnant & then it pretty much went away right at 12 weeks. But then at 14 weeks I started having morning sickness & puking at least once a day. I'm at 21 weeks & I still puke from time to time, but not that bad.

Also, I have had the worst tail bone pain ever! Its been like this since about 10 weeks. My doctor says where she is growing is probably right on a nerve. I have been walking for exercise the entire pregnancy & after I walk the pain is worst. But I'm getting thru it.

I love being pregnant! Even with all the discomforts I have really enjoyed it & I am just getting more & more excited to have this baby girl & meet her!
