Week 19

Well, week 19 started off with a boom!
First of all, it seems totally crazy to me that NEXT Friday I will be halfway through with my pregnancy. Time is certainly flying.

Well, as many of you know, I have been waiting and waiting to feel this little one. Thursday night when I was in bed and almost asleep I could have SWORN that I felt a kick. A pretty strong kick at that. So, of course, since I was half asleep and sort of disoriented, I spend the rest of the night wide awake and READY for this little one to kick me again - didn't happen.

When I woke up Friday morning (I did eventually go to sleep), I convinced myself that I was just half asleep, and I had been thinking about the baby kick just before I went to sleep, so I had probably imagined the movements.

Well, there I was, Friday morning, teaching a lesson on paragraph's to the grade 4's... and I feel "poke, poke, poke" - it was totally baby because it was unlike anything I have ever felt before.

So, week 19 started off great. Since, I have felt "gentle movements", but nothing too major. I am hoping within the next two weeks I can really start to feel him/her daily and know that everything is going well.

BJ has been wonderful, as usual and I am feeling great! I am so lucky to have had such an "easy" pregnancy. I hope that everything continues down that road.

Ceili Allison Chapman was born on May 1st. She is a beauty! Can't wait to meet her! Christine and Mike are going to make great parents! And Ceili and this bean are going to be great friends- they have no choice in the matter! hehe...

Well, that's all for now.
