Things To Remember
1. We got our first positive pregnancy test on November 15th, 2008. The day of the Wayne Watson concert.
2. Our first doctors appointment was December 11th, 2008. We had an early ultrasound and got to see the heartbeat for the first time.
3. I had been feeling sick for a while and we stopped at Wendy’s for dinner on our way to the Weslake’s Christmas party on December 6th, 2008. I had a chicken sandwich and a small chili and felt great afterwards so I requested that meal often for the next month or so.
4. We told our parents we were pregnant at Christmas by giving them ultrasound photos as presents.
5. The first time I felt a really big kick was the night after the C.R.A.C.K. House dinner on February 27th, 2009.
6. In the springtime, I could push on the side of my stomach or contract my abdominals and get a kick back from the baby almost every time.
7. While driving one day a fire engine passed with very loud sirens and it startled the baby.
8. There was one night when I placed my hand on my moving stomach and the baby pulled away promptly.
9. In the summer, when I lay on my left side, the baby pushes off the bed and I can feel kicks on both sides of my stomach.
10. I’ve been very lopsided towards my right side. Sometimes you can feel the bottom or a foot sticking out under my ribs.
11. The baby gets the hiccups low on my left side.

That’s so funny, all babies look the same inside their momma’s tummies I guess … like the lochness monster trying to escape.
