Yep, I'm 23 weeks and 5 days pregnant! According to "The Bump" you are roughly the size of a papaya. We found out several weeks ago that you are a boy! And at the ultrasound they guessed you were about a pound in weight. Ahh! I felt you move for the first time on Valentine's Day. I was standing at clinical at Covenant and leaning my belly against this fold-down table thing and I couldn't figure out what the heck it was. Then, it dawned on me! I don't even know how to describe the first time I felt it. Since then, I have been able to feel you with increased intensity. Usually I feel it a lot midmorning and later at night. Your dad was able to feel you move from outside my tummy on 2/25 I believe it was. Sometimes when I feel you move I feel like I am getting seasick. It feels like my stomach is flip-flopping. It is the weirdest thing. All in all, I love being pregnant with you. I love when I forget and then you start to move and for a second I freak out until I remember it's just my baby boy wiggling around in there.

Pregnant!

I found out at about 1 (and 2) this morning. I had been nauseous yesterday morning so that caused me to suspect something. Last night I went to get groceries and on a whim stopped and bought 3 tests. I came home and AJ and I watched a few episodes of Nip/Tuck. It was 1:09AM when he went in to bed and I was following him when I caved and took a test. I saw the two lines popping up and I couldn't believe it! I sat there in the bathroom for a minute trying to collect myself. Then I went into the bedroom and sat on the bed next to AJ. I was kind of laughing, kind of tearing up. After a minute he said, "Are you prego?" and I said, "YES!" He immediately got this huge grin on his face, although I think he had a hard time fathoming at first. He said, "Go take another one!" LOL. I did take another, and sure enough, 2 lines of pink showed up right away!


I am so excited and very nervous hehe. I have dreamed of this for so long and it is hard to wrap my brain around that it is actually happening! I am pretty sure Baby J is to be expected in June 2011.
