Halfway Done!!

Well, its been a while, but Im back at it.
Originally I was waiting to write until I found out what I was having. That was supposed to be a little over a month ago. At that ultrasound, they couldnt see anything, but I had another scheduled for about a week later. So I figured then I would wait until THAT one and share the news. That evening, however, I Was admitted to the hospital with a brain hemmorhage. It was really scary, but I'm ok. The doctors say they have no idea why it happened and its pretty rare, but it heals on its own. I wasnt really up to spending time on the computer after that, and then I went to the US to see my mom. So its been a while, but atleast I do have reasons.

To catch you all up, Im getting really big in the belly now, I think bigger every day. I still have some morning sickness, but not as bad as before, tg. Oh, and one more little thing--- Its a GIRL!!! Im so happy to know and be able to prepare. From the beginning Marcus and I both sort of knew it was a girl. Nice to be right. Of course, Ultrasounds are sometimes wrong, but we truly think its a girl.

Ok, so I am in week TWENTY ONE!! Can you believe it? I cant! After my past, I never thought I would make it this far. Its so exciting to feel "safe" in my pregnancy now. What else is exciting are the movements I am feeling. I love to feel her move around. At first, about 15 weeks, its was like a fish swimming around. Now Its sort of like a fish still but almost a scraping feeling beside my belly button. Its almost always in the same spot, just right of the belly button. On days she isnt moving much, I like to eat one piece of candy to get her moving, just to reassure myself. When I wa sin Florida, she hardly moved the last 3 days. I was really scared. But then on the train from Copenhagen to Kalmar, she moved SO much that I couldnt stay asleep... annoying to some, but so precious to me. I think its the only time I would ever enjoy being kicked. (atleast I think thats what she is doing)

I didnt get any pictures in Florida. I dont know why, maybe just lazy. I promise to take some soon and share. For now, I will show my April 25th ultrasound. Its pretty amazing, to me atleast.

Happy to hear that you are doing good and getting the chance to finally experience the joyful things of being pregnant. Feeling them move around is fun, although sometimes a little creepy,usually, that was my most favorite part. And yay! A girl. How fun. Cute cloths and pretty hair. WANT BELLY PICTURES!

I'm sooo glad you're up and bloggin' again! You have gone through so much during this pregnancy.. more than most. I know you will be blessed beyond belief (weird, 3 B words all in a row) and would do it all over again once you get to hold and smell her! Nothing in the entire world smells better than a brand new baby! Are you going to take a lamaze class? Oh! And what are you gonna name Lil' Miss? Can't wait to hear your ideas or decision on that. Well, you're really moving along, not too much further to go! Get those pics up, please!
