Kicking & Guessing

I started feeling the baby kick!

I felt it for the first time about 2 weeks ago (around 16wks), but it was sporatic and I had to really be paying attention.

This week I've been noticing it quite regularly.

I have to say that I have missed baby kicks.
It's one of my favorite parts about being pregnant (right on the list next to new, cute clothes)

I've been feeling pretty good lately, my energy has increased a lot and I feel like I can do a lot more now. Which is good because I have a bazillion projects to start & finish in the next 5 months.

We've got our 20wk ultrasound scheduled for October 5th, so that is when we will finally find out whether it's a baby girl or boy! (girl, girl, girl!). I want a girl so much at this point it will probably be a boy.

I've put up a poll on my sidebar for everyone to vote! (and secretly to get you google-readers to come to my blog in person to see how cute it is lately)

In addition, I've signed up for expectnet.com and you can put your guesses in there too. Just click the button on the sidebar under the boy/girl poll.---->
Closest one to all the right answers will get a prize! So go put in your guesses! Even if you are just a blogstalker. If you regularly read this blog you are totally eligible.

And because a lot of you probably want a picture (blog posts without pictures are boring apparently) Here is an old one of me at 22 wks with Luke:

I remember not feeling too big and i am pretty sure I was trying to look bigger than I was in these pictures.

Now for me today at 18 weeks
(obviously showing sooner this time around)
(PS I hate taking my own picture.)

Don't forget to put in your guesses & vote!
