Daron finally got to feel her move!

I have been feeling our little girl moving for a few weeks now. In the last couple weeks I had started being able to feel her from the outside, too, but every time Daron would put his hand on my stomach, she would stop. Last night however, she finally showed off for her daddy and gave him a good thunk! She's definitely getting stronger because the thunks are getting bigger. They don't hurt or anything at this point, but sometimes they sure take me by surprise!

I really need to try to catch Adan talking to the baby on video one of these days. He likes to pat my stomach and say 'Baby, come out!' just about every day. I keep explaining that she isn't ready to come out yet, so in the last couple days he has been asking 'Baby ready to come out?' instead of commanding her to come out. Considering its nearly impossible to explain the concept of 4 more months to a 3 year old, I have a feeling I'm going to be hearing this question a lot. :-) Anyway, sometimes he tells the baby his version of a knock, knock joke (which is just 'knock, knock, who's there!) or he pats my tummy and tells the baby he loves her. Its so sweet.

I had my latest appointment this week and everything checked out fine. I did gain another 8 pounds - yikes - but my blood pressure and the baby's heart rate are hanging right where they usually do. I have my next check up on April 7th, at which point we will also schedule the gestational diabetes test.

Oh, one more thing I almost forgot. My doctor had received the ultrasound report from the perinatologist and there was really nothing to report, which in this case is good news! No new scans were requested and everything checked out just fine.

Nothing else new here. If I happen to get that video of Adan one of these days, I'll be sure to post it!
