We get to peek at the fidgety baby in 4 days!!!

So, part of the study we are participating in is a free 3D ultrasound! (Which we get on Monday)
We are so excited to get to peek at Miss Kat! Two of the women I know who are expecting have had there babies (both boys) and brought them home. They are filling my Facebook feed with pictures (not to mention all of the ones I already had coming in) and I gotta say, I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET MY LITTLE GIRL!
I am getting so impatient and yet it still sometimes doesn't seem real to me. Then she kicks me in the spleen and oh yeah, I know it's real.
Speaking of which, this is the movingest, shakingest, and kickiest baby ever. I have been around a few pregnant women in my day and have never seen the kind of tummy motion I do on a fairly regular basis. As I am typing this she is doing her Rockette impression. It is pretty amazing though, and great that her daddy can finally be in on all the hustling, and bustling she has been up to. As a matter of fact, he came home from work the other morning,(he works third shift)and she was in a particularly active state. He felt her kicking him in the side then he had his arm draped over me and she either felt it was an invasion of her space or just felt like letting him know she was there. He moved his arm up from where it had been hoping she would approve and she started even harder there. Which made him very happy, and me happy too.(feeling it is great but sharing it is better.
This is such an amazing experience, and she is teaching us so much about her, ourselves and each other.
Haven't been able to shake the illness I have had for about a month now. Have an appointment with the CNM on Friday and will talk to her about it then.
Ciao for now~

Birthday post

Yesterday was my birthday, I turned 38. It is my last birthday without Kat!
The LOML said I should post, not sure why other than I have been being very lax again but anyway, here goes.
I have been sick all week, gotta love the weakened pregnant immune system. Because of this I haven't gotten much done. This has been. UBER frustrating as I was finally feeling human again and was starting to get the nest.. er apartment ready for Miss Kat.
I am finally feeling better again and can start getting things squared away. The only things that I can't do alone is anything involving moving furniture or heavy lifting. My back is already screaming at me for normal day to day stuff.
We finished registering and are super excited to get things set up for our beautiful little love.
The LOML and I have been noticing adorable babies everywhere lately! But know for certain our own is going to be cutest by far. We get our 3D ultrasound (free because of the study we are participating in) on February 25th. Hopefully Miss Kat will have put on some fat by then.
I guess that's all for now. I begin my assault on the living room on Monday, wish me luck.
Ciao for now ~
