First Kick Line

I have felt a little pushing from the inside which is really cool. The first kick was during the Avant Guarde meeting on July 10th. I was just quieting listening to the presentation and then I felt this pain on my side and like that 3 rapid kicks. It was so neat!! Then last week I was laying on the bed and baby Sug was on my belly and the baby was just kicking away. It was funny Sugar was just laying there and I kept feeling it one after another and that baby was getting a workout! Sugar couldn't feel anything though because it was a little too early for that. The baby is just kicking really softly at this point and only I can feel it for now. I can't wait until she can feel it though I just want to see what she thinks of all that.
Then the next time was today. I felt the baby kick just a few times while I was at lunch. I like it when the baby kicks its a nice reminder that the baby is there and is doing ok. Hopefully within the next week or so it will get more frequent and I will be able to feel it a little more often. (A downfall about being a Plus Sized Pregger is you don't get to feel all that stuff as early as the little ladies do because there is more "cushioning" there).
I am having a harder time bending over now since my uterus has now reached belly button height. It will get really stiff there everynow and then and then it makes it really impossible to bend over easily. The plus side of that is my stomach feels rock hard so I can feel it and pretend I am all ripped. I am like that's right I got bricks. (Self delusion has never been a problem for me).
Other than those few things it is all mellow right now. I am still trying to pump myself full of water and I must say I have been doing a great job. The bathroom trips seems to be slowing down over the past few days so I am glad about that. I have been going through some weird controlling issues. Like I feel like I am spirling out of control at random times and so I frantically start cleaning and organizing. I guess the whole neating instinct has set in a little early since I have such a long way to go to get ready.

Next Sonogram Appointment: July 29th at 2:30 Stan and I have invited our moms to come along and see how their little Grandchild is doing! I am so excited it is going to be a blast! And we will all keep our fingers crossed that the baby isn't keeping it's legs crossed!
