I must be feeling kicks!

I think I must be feeling Baby Hennesy kick. Unlike the flutters I have been feeling, I now feel stronger and independent (yet sometimes multiple) punches or kicks inside my belly. I haven't been able to feel them on the outside of my stomach just yet, but I feel like they are getting stronger. Hopefully within the next week or two others will be able to share the feeling. It's so amazing how fast things are progressing!

It's amazing to feel the baby!

I have been working at the computer most of the day, thus sitting still for the most part. I have felt Baby Hennesy moving a lot today. He/she has been increasing in movement and today I have felt a lot of movement. I still cannot feel anything on the outside of my stomach, but I hope within the next week or two I'll be able to share the feeling with Matt and others. It's so amazing!

17 Weeks

I am 17 weeks this week. I am noticing my stomach is continuing to slowly grow. Matt and I walked today and I can tell I am terribly out of shape. I need to be exercising daily, so I am going to make an effort to get in the gym. I am feeling pretty well with occasional nausea and now that I have my Snoogle (a full body pregnancy pillow) I am sleeping much better. I am still wishing I had found out whether I am having a girl or boy so we'll see how I feel at the next appointment. I have been much more tired than normal and I hope that too soon improves. Overall, everything is moving along smoothly and I am feeling much better.

16 Weeks!

I went to my 16 week check up today. Everything was progressing normally. The doctor could even have told us the gender today, but we chose not to find out. It is a lot harder not to find out than I originally thought it would be. I don't know if I'll be able to stand not to know now. I had gained 1 lb. in four weeks. If only I could keep up that momentum! He or she was yawning this morning. His/her little mouth was opening and closing the whole time we were watching. It was pretty amazing. I am so anxious for the next appointment. I am feeling much better and just really excited! The photo above isn't great, but you can see the spine and how much he/she is growing.

I am 15 weeks today!

As you can tell, I am growing considerably. I am feeling better and my appetite is back so I am starting to gain my weight back. I will start walking soon. We go back to the doctor in a little over a week for our 16 week check up. We will get to see another ultrasound so I can hardly wait! I have no idea what we will be having so I guess Matt and I will have to keep predicting.

14th Week!

I am now in my 14th week. I was out of town on Sunday so I didn't get a photo for this week. I'll be sure to post one at 15 weeks. While I was gone, I got a new prediction for the baby's gender. Someone that works with my department on state publications has a reputation for picking baby's gender and picking them right. She told me back in June or July of last year that I would be the next tourism rep that would get pregnant...she was right about that. So, she says that it's a girl! She predicted back before I actually got pregnant that I would have a girl. She picked the last two rep's right too. We will see in about 25-26 weeks if she is right!
