My baby loves to dance!!

Today I went in for another sonogram. The little peanut is no more! It's squatty and fat and it has little hands and feet buds!! It's the cutest thing!! My doctor focused on the baby. All of the sudden, the baby started to jolt and wiggle its bottom and move its little hands! My doctor was like "OH look!!! The little one is dancing and showing off, it knows that we're watching." I was just beaming. I wish I could have recorded that quick 5 seconds. It was the most amazing thing ever. There really is life inside of me. He or she is going to love to dance, just like their mommy and daddy. =)

 I've found while I'm getting my appetite back, I'm starting to not like some foods that I used to be able to eat. I can't eat lunchmeat or yogurt!  I'm also a little worried, because I'm not gaining any weight at all. I've actually lost 2 pounds. I sure hope I can gain enough to keep myself and the little one healthy. 

My doctor also gave me a run down on labor and delivery and cord blood donation. It is so expensive. That has been such a controversial issue. I have to really think about this one. It's amazing how many things you have to start thinking of when you have a baby. 

How will I pay for child care and health care. Who will take the child if me and my husband suddenly pass away. Do we bank cord blood so that if this child or future children get a diesease, it can possibly save their lives? Do I consent to a blood transfusion if needed? How will I pay for its needs and college? 

There is so much to think about. SO much to do.  So much paperwork.

Haha! I can just imagine the little one wiggling around on the monitor. That must have been amazing to see. Is it odd to think of a person growing inside of you? It is amazing and scary all at the same time (to me).
