Week 20 & 21

Finally starting to feel the baby move! Yeah! It's a bit sporadic, but I'm just happy to know she's ok. Unfortunately for Aaron it's not to the point where he can feel her - although he likes to pretend. And there's actually not a whole lot to tell this week. I feel great, actually forget that I'm pregnant sometimes, minus the growing belly and tight fitting pants. :) And Dylan is still super excited about his baby sister. He checks, rubs, hugs and gives kisses to my belly everyday. He also happily gave up his crib and room for her and moved his way into his "big boy" bedroom this week.

As promised, here's a belly shot. Not a bare belly yet, but still a belly. As much as I can't believe I'm already going into my 22nd week, I can't believe I have 4 1/2 months left of being pregnant. Seems so long.


Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah and Happy New Year!

Week 17, 18 & 19

Boy does time fly by. Or should I say GIRL ;-) Yup, you got it. We're having a baby girl - yippee!!!!! Both Aaron and I are beyond excited, but it is so cute to see Dylan so excited too.











The day we found out still seems like a dream. I was in such shock when she told us, but I was quickly overwhelmed with emotions. I started crying and couldn't stop. I also couldn't breathe I was crying so hard - it was kind of humorous because the technician kept saying "you need to breathe, you need to breathe." Of course I would have also been happy to have another little boy, but what girl doesn't want a daughter if she can.

Now onto the baby naming, room decorating and clothes shopping! 

And if you were wondering how mama Katz was feeling - we're feeling good and the doctor says the baby looks perfect. I'm a little tired of course and certain things are getting a bit awkward, but overall feeling great. Having Dylan at home doesn't really give me a whole lot of time to remember that I'm even pregnant. I know that might sound a little weird, but it's true. I sometimes forget that I'm pregnant because everything is all about Dylan. So all my mama friends pregnant with their first baby...enjoy. You really never do get to enjoy your time quite like you did when being pregnant the first time.

And hopefully by my next entry I will have felt the baby move. I was really nervous that I hadn't felt the baby move yet (I felt Dylan at 17 weeks), but the doctor said the reason is because of where the placenta attached when our little girl was conceived. It's towards the front of my belly, therefore the baby needs to be a bit stronger in order to kick hard enough for me to feel it through all that "stuff."

Oh, and I promise to post a belly photo on the next entry. Just been a little crazy these past few weeks.
