The past few weeks have been pretty good. Slowly starting to feel the squirming of the little guy. I've somewhat questioned my instincts over the past 3 weeks or so only to have them confirmed last night. It's definitely him that I'm feeling. I was laying in bed last night doing my normal flipping and flopping that I do every night for about 30 minutes or so...and whenever I would get settled I could feel "something." When it kept happening I was pretty confident that it was him! Now just to wait until Matt can feel him!
Spring Break begins shortly and I cannot wait....really cannot wait! It's been a really tough year and I tend to look forward to my vacations. We're leaving after school tomorrow and headed to the big town of Dawson, GA. It'll be nice to get away and do NOTHING!! It'll be Matt, Me, Mom, Dad, Carey, Laurie, and Caylee.....I think we're picking up my Grandfather along the way too!
Spring Break also brings another sneak peak at the growing guy. We go for another ultrasound on Thursday 4/1. It's funny, since January, all of my appointments have been on holidays (MLK Day, President's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and now April Fools Day). I did NOT plan any of them. it was just the every four weeks or so. The only one I adjusted was they wanted me to come earlier in March, but I explained that I was an FCAT teacher and needed to wait until the following week. Only problem is that May doesn't really have any holidays around my next visit. May Day and Mother's Day both fall on the weekend......
I'll get back with you to share after Thursday's u/s. We're praying that all is well...I'm sure it is...I feel great....just a little lazy, but sometimes that's great too!

Whew....where's my energy?
Well, I thought the 2nd trimester was supposed to be easier? I have to admit it would be for a normal person....but I can't have a normal pregnancy. I am a little over 20 weeks...4 1/2 months and I am T-I-R-E-D!!
From about 6 weeks to about 15/16 weeks I had this amazingly severe cough. You know, the kind where you feel as though your lung is going to come out? It was bad, Matt would ask me, "Do you really have to cough that hard? I've never heard anyone cough like that." After a time or two he learned to NEVER ask me that again. He meant well, he kept wanting me to go to the Dr. but I declined until he finally forced me to. And the Dr. said..."It's just a cough, no infection, there isn't anything we can do." Then he really left me alone about it and did actually feel bad for me. Especially the mornings, middays, and evenings where I would cough and cough until I just threw up.
So now, I have another issue....and again this one isn't pregnancy related either! I have a self inflicted (very, very, very, very, mild) form of whiplash. I know, I know, you ask, "How did you do that?" Well about a week and a half ago I was laying (very comfily I might add) on the couch with my laptop when one of my coughing attacks snuck up on me without warning. I jerked my body up and felt a little pull in the left side of my neck. And "there you go" there's my neck issue! So luckily my Uncle is a WONDERFUL chiropractor and he has me (almost) back to my normal self.
I just haven't had the chance to enjoy all those naps and sleeping sessions that you hear pregant women experience. Considering that I was either coughing......or now dealing with my achy neck
Seriously, why can't I just have a normal pregnancy symptom. Actually I've had a very easy pregnancy, I think my guard's just been down. My head's been in the clouds over being pregnant and realizing our dream of having a child is real, we're really going to have a baby and whiplashes and coughs are just sneaking up on me!
So with that being said all of the above has made me a somewhat lazy person. I'm trying to work on that. I did a little more housework than normal and Mom and I went for a walk for a little exercise. I can't wait to put Carter in a stroller and walk around the neighborhood.
Toodles, off to the 'rents house for our weekly Sunday dinner!
