Shes a kicker!

My word.. This child is a kicker. Bob has even felt her on several occasions now. Mostly when I drive anywhere, or sit down, or lay down, or sleep, or eat, or move a lot.....haha... she is definitely an energetic little pup.  We are 22 weeks along now, past the halfway point.  We have another ultrasound to see some of the anatomy of the baby that was missed (lower tailbone portion) when she was not in position for the pictures to be taken.

Here is a lucky video of our reaction to the gender :) enjoy

The strange postions of macy moo

I decided this is worth sharing.... My dog makes me laugh all the time. even when she makes me angry, she gives me a little taste of what having a kid will be like. I get so mad at her when she is naughty, but I just love her so much I never want her to get in trouble so I have to punish her. But even through the times she makes a mess and barks me awake at night, she makes me smile throughout the day having such a personality. I have no idea what I would do without my little pooch.

 the big bones were on sale... why not?

 when she is in trouble....

 Excuse me ma'am, there seems to be a dog in your couch.

there are OH so many more.....ill have to do another one of these someday. she really makes my day sometimes :P

Movement

For the past 3 days, i have been feeling the baby move a LOT! Every time i sit down its a kickin. The place i work even has a Stethoscope so i tried listening to it, and I COULD HEAR IT! Anytime it kicks i hear a thud! and if im lucky, it will move into place and i will hear the heartbeat! i really didn't think i could hear it that way this soon, but i think baby might be in the front rather than in the back which is why i feel and hear so much. I don't mind :) I wish i could record the sound through it because its so neat-o! I will try to at least get a vid of my tummy moving at some point when i notice it is :)

Bob and I are getting some work done in the basement. Pics to come!
