My first real Mother's Day! Yes I've celebrated with our dogs, they are my babies after all, but it was always bittersweet. I realized that celebrating with my dogs may be the only kind of Mother's Day I ever got but hoped it wouldn't be the case. I can't believe this year, 2012, is finally my year to celebrate it. I am a Mom, I am growing our Daughter!
So, I hit 27 weeks this week! Crazy, I am one week away from the 3rd Trimester! Even bigger is I hit 6 months!!! I am 6 months pregnant!!! Some people go by every 4 weeks equal a month but that makes pregnancy 10 months which irks me. I go by on the 11th I hit the month milestone. Crazy!!!
About our daughter: (from ticker) Over 2 lbs & adding lots of healthy baby fat. Her eyelashes have started! :) Another ticker says it's 2.4 lbs! Wowza! :)
I'm not sure if my husband has any special surprises for me which I won't lie, I do hope so, but the last 2 days have been amazing! Mike took a 4 day weekend so Friday we went to the movies, lunch, did grocery shopping, & then chilled. Yesterday...yesterday was the mega awesome day!!! First off Mike was in a cleaning mood. He cleaned up his part of the spare closet(baby's closet), cleaned the computer room, did the huge amount of dishes, & even cooked dinner which was amazingly good! More awesome was BABY TIMES!!! We (He) put together the crib & the baby's dresser/changing table. We moved the PnP(pack n play) & the dresser into our room. Our Daughter has invaded our house. :) It's so weird seeing the pnp & the dresser in our room. It's weird seeing the crib and mattress set up & ready for sheets! My baby shower is next week so lots more stuff will be added to that room in a few weeks(when my parents come). Best part of yesterday though. Our Daughter! After some ice cream she became VERY active. To where I felt her moving! Actually moving around with the occasional kick. I called Mike over & of course he was impatient and told me he didn't feel anything after 5 seconds. I told him that she was super active, I felt her moving in there. Thinking "how can you not? she's doing gymnastics in there or something". About 30 seconds later he finally felt our daughter's "judo kick" for the first time. It was a judo kick too, she has NEVER kicked that freaking hard. He looked at me because he thought I did it. Flinched my stomach or something. Nope, that was all our girl, she kicked her father! He felt a second kick too & then was done being patient. I don't know why he thinks I'd try faking a kick from her. I actually was concentrating on my breathing & relaxing so that anything he felt would be 100% her. Baby Girl continued to stay active for the rest of night. From around 8 until bedtime at midnight. At least every 45 mins or so I'd feel some movements & kicks. 2 am bathroom break, a few kicks. 6 am wake up, kicks started again. She's kicking me as I type. It's really nice to feel her so active because for around last 10 days she's been super shy & minimally active.
Great Great few days. Hit 27 weeks, Hit 6 MONTHS, & Mike felt his first kick! Truly amazing few days!
