19 Weeks:)

I can feel Petri kick now!!! I started feeling what felt like gas bubbles last week and I wasn't sure if it was Petri or gas. Well it's happening pretty consistently and in the same place sometimes so I'm pretty positive it's Petri. Also, I'm not THAT gassy:P I can really only feel it when I'm laying down so I look forward to laying in bed at night:) A couple of times I've been able to feel a really hard spot right below my belly button and I'm pretty positive it's Petri:) J's felt it too and the other day we tried to see if our cheapo crap doppler would work since he/she was RIGHT there but by the time we got the thing strapped on, Petri moved. Little rascal!:)

That's been the biggest development so far. I'm definitely showing a lot more now. I feel like it's obvious to strangers but no one has said anything yet. This weekend I bought a few things from Motherhood and they had one of those fake belly's in the dressing room. I couldn't resist! So below is a picture of me with the belly and a picture of me after dinner tonight. I always forget to take a picture BEFORE dinner because I feel like it makes such a difference. J says it's not that different though:P



It's finally time for my anatomy scan! We go in on Thursday morning and I can't wait. My mom is texting me with a countdown:P Everyone is so excited to find out what we're having. Finally can settle the bet between J and Kortnie too! Kortnie bets $20 it's a girl and J bets a boy. I just want to know who's right!
