Definitely a soccer player in the future

So this past week and a half to two weeks have been very fun for me. I have started to feel baby REALLY kick. It's such an awesome feeling, and when people talk about bonding with your baby even though they are in your womb it is so true. I love to feel her little kicks, and talk to her. I can feel her kick on the outside too and Daddy has felt her a couple of times which was very exciting for me. It's kind of cool to know that when I eat or do certain things she sure does voice her opinion and will kick a ton. Here are some things that baby will have big kicks for:
-Lying in my back... I don't have to worry about me lying on my back too long if I accidentally roll over while I'm sleeping because she lets me know right away that I need to "MOVE MOM!"
-Root beer
-Milk
-Eating at my 4 A.M. breakfast eeevery stinkin morning. (seriously wakes me up from a deep sleep and I can't go back to sleep 'til I eat something)
-Any kind of fruit (a girl after my own heart) :)
-After I throw up... almost like she's saying "hey mom I was eating that why did you take it away from me" ( yes I like to make up things that my baby is saying... so sue me!)
-And... last but not least usually when I have to potty. I think she finds this a sick joke if you ask me.
So anyway... I'm still not showing (to the everyone else) I definitely see a change in my body shape even if everyone else doesn't see it. I went to my 21 week check up yesterday, and my OB said that baby sounds perfect and I'm doing just great. It was funny when he asked me how I was doing this is how the conversation went:
D: Good morning how we doing today?
M: Oh ya know depends on the day...
D: Getting your energy back and appetite... Things looking up?
M: Well, still feel like I don't have energy certain days, like today. I also have these random throw up spells that isn't brought on by nausea.
D:Are you waiting too long to eat, you too tired, a wrong food trigger it?
M: No it just comes on all the sudden and I have to run to the bathroom right in the middle of my meal. Then I come right back and can finish the rest of it.
D: Oh
pause.... (in no shy way starts undoing my pants and lifting my shirt so my stomach is showing while I'm lying on the table. Yeah I didn't feel awkward, and I know that he didn't, but I kept thinking to myself a normal person watching this would think otherwise.)
continues with the exam...
D: So this isn't as easy as you thought huh?
M: (chuckle) not in the slightest.
D: So will this be some birth control for a few years?
M: I'm hoping...
D: Well you have control of that you know.
M: Yeah that's true
D: I can always right you a little note to hang on the fridge saying no sex for at least two years.
M: (chuckle) yeah tell that to Brock (we're on a first name basis... he knows Brock's entire family)
D: Well it'll be a Dr's order so he will have no choice...
Yeah when I told that to Brock I'm not sure I understood his reaction of a little chuckle, but I'm seriously contemplating my OB's offer. ;)
The appointment went well, and I love hearing that little heartbeat that is inside of me. It always makes me want my little girl now (fully developed of course). They also gave me more pictures of our last U.S. which I loved! One of them is of her kissing the placentae. It was so cute to watch during the U.S. because she did it like 3 or 4 times like she was giving me kisses. :)
Well now that I have had my early morning snack and spent enough time doing nothing hopefully I can try and go back to sleep.
Sweet dreams :)

That's one thing I miss! I loved to feel Braun move all around, till he got bigger and there wasn't much room. Then it just hurt and took my breath away :). Wait till you see your belly move all around its amazing!
