20 weeks

2/10/09- 20 weeks
Only 139 days to go! Weight gain has been great. 11 ½ lbs so far! Right on track for 25-30 lbs total. You are kicking most of the day now. Dad felt some really big kicks last night. He gets so excited every time. Tomorrow is the big ultrasound day. We hope to find out if you are a boy or girl. Everyone thinks you will be a girl expect your dad and I. Either way we will be thrilled! I just hope you have all of your parts!

I am working today and am feeling lots of kicks. They are getting stronger each day! It is so reassuring to feel you move and kick. No one has been able to feel it on the outside yet. Today while I was sitting at my desk I felt a strong one and was able to feel it on the outside for the first time. My co-worker Tricia ran in but you had stopped. You dad is dying to feel you. He tries every night. You are a miracle!

2/5/09- Dad didn’t have to wait long to feel you. Last night we were sitting in the recliner and he felt the first little kicks. He was really excited and said, “ there really is something in there!!” You have been kicking most of the day and seem to rest at night, so far. I hear that will change soon. After I eat or drink, you are especially active. I have been doing yoga more the last few months to prepare for labor. Today, Aunt Misty and I went at lunch. It was her first time. I hope she enjoyed it so I can have another partner.

This weekend your dad and I went to a meditation class to work on my relaxation. During the class I was laying on my back and felt 3 strong kicks!! It was amazing. I have felt some flutters before but that was the first distinct kick. I was so excited but had to wait the entire our in silence before I could share the news. Hopefully, you will start kicking more soon!!

This weekend was the Barlow Family Christmas Murder Mystery at Wanda and Larry’s. It was a great weekend! I am beginning to feel kicks daily now. Very exciting! They feel like tiny thumps. My appetite is going strong now and my weight gain of 3 lbs in 3 days proves that. I have now gained 8 lbs and am within the normal range. Dad continues to play guitar and talk to you daily.
