Barefoot and Pregnant in the Kitchen..........

yep, thats me. i think its every feminists worst nightmare- but i love it. steve's the one who pointed it out the other night as i was cooking dinner. "barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen- and i love it" he said. me too :) but maybe the barefoot part is why my feet are hurting so bad...

the baby's kicks are getting a lot stronger. to the point where sometimes i think that i can feel them on the outside as well (but i can't). there will be times when i'm just resting that i want to feel baby kick, and then nothing. its usually at night when i'm in bed and reading. and after a little while. i guess i need to get used to the fact that baby is going to kick when baby wants! i know that this will be an overall theme in baby's life- and i'm gonna have to get used to it!!!!
the baby's kicks are also really interesting to me- what is the baby doing? it is on purpose? is baby practicing for some martial arts tournament? or is it just a reflex? most newborn babies that I'VE met, aren't very active. so i'm kinda confused on why baby is boppin around so much. seriously, sometime i feel sommersaults (sp?). i'm gonna ask my doctor on saturday, but if anyone out there knows- feel free to fill me in!!!!

brings me to my last point- my doctors appointment. my 5 month appointment- wowza, that went fast!!!! but this is the appointment where i get to see baby in the ultrascan. i'm sooooooooooo freakin excited (but remember- we aren't finding out the sex!) but a little nervous too. i just want everything to be good and have a healthy baby. and make sure that baby doesnt' have 10 noses and 5 arms or something........ i haven't had any of those nightmares i read are common in pregnancy about having deformed babies. but i still worry. but mostly- i 'm really excited!!!! so next week, not only will you get to see my growing budda belly 5 month pics, you'll also get to see baby!!!!
i know I'M excited
stay tuned...........
