So it has been a week filled with, ummm, excitement. Last Friday, February 27th, I was on my way to the bank for my work and someone T-boned me. Trust me, it sounds worse that it really was. I am fine as is baby boy Rodriguez. I was driving down a side road when some "dork" (I had better choice words for him but I won't share them here) pulled out of his place of employment without stopping and slammed into me. Luckily he hit my passenger side and not my side otherwise it could have been worse! He was driving an older red geo metro and his bumper fell off! (serves him right!) Regardless, it was completely his fault which he admitted by saying, "I didn't even see you until I hit you!" AHHHH......... So long story short he finally called "back" his insurance today (a week later) and they of course are taking liability! So my poor banged up car will be fixed at the expense of the "dork"! YAY!
On to happier things, I think I have felt the baby move a few times. I am not 100% sure since I am not sure what it is supposed to feel like. A couple times it has felt like there was a big worm inside me moving; gross I know. Another time it was like having "gas bubbles" without the discomfort. So from what others have said that is/was the baby moving! Crazy! Last time we went to get an ultrasound they weren't able to take pictures of the heart they way they needed to. So today my mom came over and we went back. My mom was so excited since she hadn't actually seen the baby yet. It was neat to see him again with his little heart beating; it makes it all so much more real! : ) He was a bit more active today and they were able to get the pictures they needed! I see my actual doctor on Monday and he will go over it all with me then but the Tech gal said all looked fine! Yay again!
We are at the half way mark! I can't believe how fast it is going! I feel like just yesterday I was wishing I were pregnant! : ) I am sure once I hit the 3rd trimester it will feel like an eternity! I am feeling so much better than I did a month ago. Sleeping is starting to get harder while I am having trouble getting and staying comfortable through the night but I am sleeping! I am for surely showing now. I have never felt so proud about showing off my belly to the world. No, I am not lifting my shirt and showing people but I am not trying to hide it and let me tell you, this is the first time ever in my life I have felt that way! It is fantastic! ; ) Tomorrow, my cousin Suzanne and I are going to try to tackle Babies R Us for some "infant care" registry stuff. I figure that is the one area I am lost at how much to buy and which kinds are better! The rest Albert and I will hopefully be able to tackle on our own! I have received some excellent advice from some friends about what baby things we will need right away. It has decreased the stress level dramatically! Thank you to those of you who helped me out!
Here are a couple pictures from today!
So this one is a little hard to "see" but if you tilt your head to the right a bit you can make out the eyes, chin and mouth. Where the mouth is, it is more shaded gray that white! He was even looking at the camera for us!!
Here are his little feet! Who can resist little baby feet! :) So cute!
