Flutters and Tickling

Sorry for the delay of not writing for a while.....but I have been so busy and also sleepy....so finally I am back on board :-)

2 days ago (November 10th) I started to feel him in my belly, I have been waiting and waiting for him to tell me "he is in there" haha. But, it's more like a tickle about 3 inches above my belly button. I thought it was just indigestion at first but it kept happening in the same spot even after hours of eating.  He moves a lot I think after I eat though because those flutters/tickles really take over after I swallow my first bit of food at each meal. We have a kid with a big appetite on our hands I think :-)

Next week I have to drink that Glucose orange drink then head to the blood bank to check and see if I have Gestational Diabiets which I really hope I do not....but I will take whatever comes my way.

Other then that, I am still enjoying prenatal yoga, class has gotten a little smaller because of their close due dates, so sad to see them leave but for a happy reason. No cravings still.....will I ever have one?

Drinking water seems to be my only struggle. I carry a 70oz water bottle with me every day and remind myself the importance of drinking it all + some.  I have never been a big drinker....so this is something I am getting use to.

I found a few stretch marks on my lower abdomen/side the other day ... I thought i was not going to get any due to the fact my Mom never had them and I was 23 weeks into this with nothing.....I do lather up all the time with Palmers Belly Cream.....but does that stuff really work? I think it's just a mind game....but you never know. I still do it anyway :-) Makes me feel better!

My Mom and I are discussing when we will have the baby shower which is something I am looking forward too. Exciting to be able to see my family who I never get to see ....and they can see my growing belly too.

November 27th my Mom is coming to Ann Arbor and we are going to begin my Registry, so a fun girl day indeed!  I'm thinking of Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us?  Do I really need to register at 2 stores if they are basically the exact same?


John and I have come up with 2 names so far which we really like......we hope to come up with 1 more  so we have a few options when we see our handsome baby in just a little over 15 weeks!


More later!!!

Love,
Erin and Baby
