Movement!?!

Last night at work I am pretty sure that I felt the baby move. I have been feeling flutters lately but last night I felt more like a roll then there was some pressure. The more I poked at the pressure the stronger the pressure got, apparently the baby is stubborn and likes a certain spot it is the same area that I have been feeling the flutters. The baby should be over 4 inches and weighs 2 1/2 ounces. Also the little heart is pumping 25 quarts of blood. AmAzInG!!! I can't wait to meet the baby.

Little Update

So I am very happy that morning sickness appears to be over, hopefully! Today the cravings really began. Here is a list that is probably not complete:
Banana's
Chicken Noodle Soup (with the big noodles not campbells)
Homemade Pizza (left over from last night)
Peas
Noodles
Chicken (which I combined the previous 3 to make dinner)
Twizzlers
Oreo's
Watermelon
Sunny Delight
and currently banana bread
So I guess not gaining any weight in the first trimester isn't bad because I think I will gain it all in the next few days.

PS I went grocery shopping and bought all of these things. And have enjoyed almost all of them. At least they are semi healthy I mean not the oreos but banana's I HATE bananas go figure.

Mother's Day email from my sis

A Newborn's Conversation with God!

A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?' God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.'

The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'

Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.'

'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.'

'Who will protect me?' God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.'

'But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.'

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.'

God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.
