2 Years and Lots of Flutters

I'm happy to report that this past week was much better than the week before.

On Monday Jacob and I celebrated 2 years of marriage. Amazing how quickly time goes. It really doesn't seem like that long ago since our wedding day. We actually didn't do anything too big. We had Pizza Hut for supper and DQ for dessert. This coming Friday we're heading to St. Louis, which will kind of be like a little anniversary trip. I took Friday off and we're going to the zoo and to a Cardinals game. I'm pretty darn excited about it too! Lucky Jacob is going to 3...yes 3 Cardinals games this week! He and his dad are going to games on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I have to share my exciting baby news of the week. I've been feeling the baby move! I haven't felt any full blown kicks yet, but I'm getting flutters here and there! I always hear that it feels like flutters or like being tickled from the inside. It's true. I really wasn't sure if that's what I was feeling at first, but after feeling the same thing 3 days in a row I decided that it had to be. I usually only feel them when I'm sitting or lying down. It's pretty brief, but I felt more of them today. This afternoon it was really tickling me! I was on the couch watching TV and I started feeling the flutters...they're almost always on my right side. I was trying to stay really still because the feeling is so cool, but then it just tickled too much and I jerked! I guess the baby decided it was done messing with me after that one. Haha! It'll be really exciting when I can feel real kicks and Jacob can too.

Time for my bi-weekly belly shots:



Then I decided it would be fun to compare between the past 6 weeks:


I really don't feel that big yet. In fact most of the time I don't even look pregnant depending on what I'm wearing. And I'm one of those people who WANTS to look pregnant. Haha! The shirt I'm wearing in the 18 week shot was the same one from 12 weeks. It was feeling a little snug, but it was better to get a good shot in.

22 weeks to go!
