plane ride & other things

(earlier post from tonight is below with new pictures)

This past weekend we went (by plane) to South Dakota for Eric's cousin Becky's wedding. I'm not sure how well the little one liked the plane rides. On the way from Philly to Cinci she moved the entire flight and gave me a few good kicks/punches. Then from Cinci to SD she was still active, but not as much as the first leg of the trip.

She did better on the way home. I think it wore her out because I didn't feel her move that night. She's usually up right after I get up for my 3:30 AM potty break, but not last night.

She may also be a dancer. During the dance part of the reception she was really moving to the fast dance songs (C&C Music Factory's Gonna Make You Sweat, Ice Ice Baby, you know... all the standards). There was one song, and I don't remember which one, it was almost like she was kicking to the beat. Eric was a little skeptical.

Other than that.... Yes, she has a name, but no, I won't tell you what it is. No, I don't think we are ready yet (physically or mentally). Nothing has been done with her room except the removing of the guest bed. Eric has felt her move, but we have to trick her. Otherwise as soon as Eric touches me, she stops moving. I figure she's just practicing being a brat.

I'm feeling okay. I have reached that point where I feel pregnant and the belly is starting to get in the way, especially when I want to sleep. My back aches a little bit and I've gained a few more pounds. I go to the doctor tomorrow (Tuesday) so we'll see how much they say I've gained. I'm guessing around 15 pounds. I haven't noticed any new stretch marks, only a few older ones that may be bigger than before.

I think that is it. Let me know if I missed something!
