Blake has been moving like crazy lately. She's so active at times yet she's so soft about it. If I try to play back and softly push in she will immediately retract and disappear for a couple hours. No joke! Its actually kind of funny. Its like she's scared of my pushing in at her or something. I thought the first time was just a random act, but then realized that anytime my husband tried to feel her kick or I put my hand on my stomach where she is kicking she would just stop and disappear. Its so funny. Cooper never did this. I'm wondering if in time she will start to kick either way and won't sink away from us?
The room plans are in full force. I'm planning on going to get the paint this week and paint this weekend. We go back to the doctor next week, I think Wednesday. Is it normal for me to be afraid that I'm going to go in and hear its a boy. I would be OK, I will love my baby no matter what and be excited no matter what. But now that he gave us the OK to really start on everything saying it is a girl I think I would be upset to find out I have to back track and re group everything I'm doing. Oh well, who cares. I'm going to not worry and be excited no matter what. Chances are she is still a she but just in case I will brace myself for the chance of change.
Pregnancy details at this time are...
Weight: Up about 17-18lbs. Wow!
Carrying: Higher than Cooper at this point but still low for a girl
Feeling: Good, just tired and not as "Bendy" (and no I don't mean flexible, literally bendy.as I once was. (the stomach just doesn't move in any bend like it used to).
Cravings: Cheeseburgers, Snickers bars, Anything and everything :)
There aren't any foods that I'm not really wanting or eating, but I do crave lots of different foods.
Movement: Light movement off and on throughout the day in spurts. She doesn't like it when she feels us checking out her movements.
Here is a pic Julian took tonight. I feel like in just a week I've grown some more. Maybe I'm crazy but I just feel larger than I did last week.

And of course, my precious little love COOPER!!!

Oh gorgeous, i did not know you were pregnant again!! Congratulations, what a blessing! i will have to go through all your posts and read the stories! i've been away for too long!! hope you're ok! xx
You look beautiful & how cute that she plays hide & go seek already.....can you say genius??
I too feel like I am huge this time & when I compare my photos to when I was pregnant with B I am bigger.....oh well I guess as long as the babies are healthy we should just enjoy growing rather large :)
You are beautiful and pregnancy definately looks good on you.
I think you look great.
Are you still seeing Dr.N out at TWHC?
I miss that place so much.
You are one of the prettiest pregnant people I've ever seen. What a perfect little bump you have!
I carried low too with my girl and she also seemed to disappear when I would poke at her. Towards the end, she would push back though. It sure made it hard for my husband to ever feel her! :)
I know I say this all the time, but you are the cutest pregnant lady EVER!
Can I tell you how thanful I am that another girl is putting on 17-18 pounds around half way through their pregnancy!! Everyone I know lately is at like 6-8 at this point and is only putting on like 25 pounds total. It's making me CRAZY!!! I put on 50 with Ryder and am obviously on the same track this time. All these crazy girls are on diets or something while pregnant.
Your belly is so adorable! I hope you can start feeling more kicks. My hubby and I are loving feeling out little guy move. I'm 24 weeks tomorrow, and we can see him from the outside so hopefully you'll see that soon.
yay for the half way point! you look so cute! your bump is so little and adorable ;)
coop of course looks adorable as well!! :)
A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E
