Almost Halfway There!

John and I had another fantastic doctors appointment yesterday.  We are about 19 weeks along and everything looks and feels great.  We heard a strong heartbeat again and the baby is getting bigger and bigger (by the looks of my growing bump!)  Our baby loves to play tricks on the doctor; as soon as the doctor finds the "spot" (where you can hear the heartbeat the best), the baby moves to the other side!  He/she goes back and forth the entire time he's got the machine on my belly (naughty...but so funny!)  Also, we felt the most amazing thing last night.  As we were laying in bed, watching "Breaking Bad", I felt something I had never felt before...a tiny little flutter kick in my belly!  It was SO awesome.  The baby must have really enjoyed the snickers blizzard he/she had just indulged in (actually that was me indulging..don't worry, it was just a mini blizzard...) because it was really moving!  Even John got to experience this one; he put his hand on my belly and felt our baby just kickin' away.  We were both shocked, amazed, emotional, elated and thankful.  John and I are so excited that our baby is doing so well and that my pregnancy has been healthy and fairly uneventful (with the exception of the "first trimester yuckiness").  Our next appointment is in 3 weeks and this is when we get to find out if our bundle of joy will be bundled in pink or blue!  I used to "feel" that it was a girl but now I'm really thinking boy.  Of course, we will be so thrilled with whatever the doc tells us and we can't wait to share the news with everyone!  Ironically, our appointment falls on the exact same day that, one year ago, we found out we had lost our first pregnancy.  I got a little emotional thinking about this on the way home because it really showed me how things have come full circle in such a positive way.  We're both so thankful that one year later we're able to look back on what happened and have a little peace.  We can't wait to meet our baby and can't believe we're halfway there!  We'll keep you posted.  LOVE and Blessings to all!
