some exciting stuff!!!

yesterday was a really exciting day for me and jeremy! we were watching "band of brothers" and xavier was being a little busy body and so i had jeremy put his hand where i felt him and jeremy felt him too!!!! it was so awesome. the look on jeremy's face was totally priceless and he was really happy. i almost cried! hehee ive been trying to get jeremy to feel him but he can never feel him, so i was just ecstatic that jeremy actually felt him!

today we went in for our 20 week ultrasound. it went really well! she took a lot of measurements of his bones, brain, heart, abdomen, and the heartbeat! which we finally got to hear! it was amazing! we got to see him moving a lot and he was in the breech position so that is why i always feel the kicks low. we saw him moving his mouth, taking a drink. we got to see a profile and a front shot of his face. he looks adorable! the doctor said everything looked good and he was progressing normally! i was really relieved, not that i was worrying or anything, but i was just relieved everything was going good! we did not get any pictures though, which really bummed me out. we are just happy he is doing great! =) oh and ive gained about 9 lbs since our last appointment but im still under my original weight. but im glad im gaining now.

next tuesday i am going in for my glucose tolerance test. that should be fun! hahaa when i go in for that i am going to talk to them about getting a 3d/4d ultrasound done. im not sure if they charge for those but if they do and its not too expensive we will most likely have it done.

what a kick!

ever since i started my 16th week i wanted to feel xavier move. well, week 16 is now past and i am in the middle of my 17th week. i was getting a little anxious on feeling him and was trying to figure out if every little move my belly made was him. i was trying to feel for "flutters" or a sensation like goldfish swimming around. that is what i read and heard it would feel like, so that is what i was looking for.

well, yesterday i felt something a little different. it was like actual kicking. very light, more like popping popcorn! at first, i wasnt sure it was him, because it wasnt what was described to me but after thinking about it a bit, im pretty sure it had to be him! it was right after i ate breakfast so he was probably happy that i fed him! hahaha =) i didnt think it was real at first, so now, if i feel him again soon i am going to be super excited and not over analyzing if its him or not!

i am really happy that i felt him move! now it can only get better. i am getting excited for the day that jeremy will be able to feel him too! =)
