Daddy felt the floor routine

Ryan felt the baby moving last night for the first time he was certain. He said he may have felt her the other night, but wasn't sure until he felt her more distinctly last night.

He had made me promise no one else could try to feel the movement until he felt it first, and now he has. So anyone who wants to put their hand on my belly, just ask. Her movements have gotten a lot stronger in the past week, and don't feel like cute flutters anymore. It is more like my organs are flipping around inside - very strange feeling.

We bought paint for the nursery and Ryan is going to be working on that this week. We cleared the room out today.

I read that she is about 10 inches long by now, and that amazes me. I have only gained about 8 lbs so far, though everything I hear and read says in the upcoming weeks I will really start gaining weight.

Look out, Shamu, here I come.
