Wow, can our little Jelly Bean ever KICK!! We certainly have a very active little guy!! :) I'm supposed to be feeling slight movements inside which are referred to as baby "hiccups", and it should feel like a little tickle....but his kicks make my entire stomach move, it's like little jolts inside me! I've asked other prego friends if this is normal... Katie assured me it just means we have a healthy baby. And Laurie, I think you're right, he might be ready for soccer already!! :) I'm confident that he just has very strong legs, and he will be an excellent athlete! :)
It has been a while since I've written on here; we finally took a picture yesterday to post. J.B. is about the size of a head of cauliflower now, about 14 1/2 inches in length. I can tell he is getting bigger as I feel him moving so much - I imagine he is stretching his little legs & tiny toes, flexing his fingers... I can't wait for him to be snuggled up in my arms instead of in my tummy! :)
Steve's mom put together a baby shower with some of my friends/relatives here in Chambersburg - we got so many nice gifts, and it was so nice to see some friends I hadn't seen for a while! We took a picture of the wonderful things people have given to us (see below).
I think I can also now officially announce that Tiffany (our sister-in-law) is pregnant, too!! YAY!!! Congratulations Tim & Tiffers!! How exciting - our little tykes will be growing up together!! :O) Now we just need to get them to move closer so we can see them more....
I have been feeling fine, but extremely hot at times outside. I know I'm pretty lucky that it's been a rainy, cloudy summer overall - we've only had 3 days in the low 90's, and 2 of those days were in April. So I'm definitely counting my blessings!! :) It's getting harder for me to move fast (I get out of breath quickly), esp. up and down stairs or hills outside. And my back is definitely getting sore from all the weight - I just can't imagine getting any bigger than I am right now! But I know I will....
Cravings have been happening more - my biggest cravings are for Wendy's jr. cheeseburgers and root beer, and most of all peppermint patties!!! Jelly Bean really likes the patties, so I have been making sure to give him a taste of them daily. :)
87 days to go til our little bundle of sunshine is wrapped up in our arms!! (He's already wrapped up in our hearts!!) :)
