Flutters!

I felt flutters!!   I am soooo excited!   Around 4am this morning I was half asleep laying in bed and felt a little bump.  I was wide awake immediately to see if I could feel it again and sure enough - there was that wonderful, familiar bump, bump, bump.  I was awake long enough to feel it in a couple different places. 

Oh, how I *love* the comfort of feeling the baby move.  It makes the nausea and sickness totally worth it.

I know it is early and it might be awhile before I feel the little Intruder again and that is okay.  Eventually it will be something that is more and more regular.  I especially like that I get to feel the flutters for a few weeks before anyone else does.   That is a time that we get to start building our bond, our special play time.

I fell back asleep with a smile on my face!!    
11.2 weeks

The Bump is Back

There is no denying that I look pregnant.   Since I still don't have an official 'you are this far along' date or anything I am still guesstimating.   At this point I am around 8.3 weeks pregnant.   However since this is my 6th baby I look like I am about 6 months along already.   Yeah, really.

 So as you can see - the one on the left was taken about 4 weeks ago and the one on the right was taken this morning.  Keep in mind that I am sucking in too.   :)  

You can also see that I got a little bit of a tan while I was on vacation too!   It was wonderful and I was distracted enough and had enough of a variety of wonderful foods that I haven't gotten sick for 5 days!!   Yippee!!!   So excited!

I have my second midwife appointment tomorrow at 11am and I have a follow up ultrasound appointment to check for dates on July 12th at 1pm.  After that we won't have anymore ultrasounds. 

I also wanted to post an update about S&P - before they leave to go back to France they will be flying to LA to meet with a couple from Colorado to possibly match with!  They have been enjoying their time in Oregon and even spent one of their days at Kah-Nee-Ta (where I just got back from) after I told them how what a warm and relaxing place it was.  I have been praying for a perfect match for them, so if you would like, please join me.   They deserve to have a child in their arms and if I can't do it, I want a 'perfect' match for them!!
