Well, well, well...who knew that because my belly button is protruding outward so far that it looks like you could turn it like a door knob. It turns out that I have a herniated 'giant knob' in place of what used to look like my cute little belly button. UGH!! It doesn't hurt, but that doesn't mean that it couldn't turn green at any moment. Much to my dismay it can actually do that..ewe! Hopefully it won't grow any eyes and a mouth and try to eat us either. Sometimes being pregnant just feels that 'alien' to me, can anyone else relate those weird feelings?

For instance- she has just, within the last 2 days, started moving around to the point where I can feel her. She is nudging and kicking and doing cartwheels within me and boy sometimes it is Funky! Todd says it feels strange to put his hand on my tummy and feel her kicking, punching, what have you. It is fun to finally feel another life after so long of wondering when reality would sink in.

I am due for another sonogram in a few weeks so they can look at her face and check the sex for sure this time. It was a bit of a guessing game last time I gather so hopefully this time it will be legit. I want to start buying the baby some stuff for preparation purposes. Cross your fingers that 'little peanut' is more cooperative this time around.

I can absolutely relate to the "alien" feeling. It is a very strange process, a very cool one, but strange at the same time. Hope you're enjoying the whole thing and doing well.
