Movement!

I started feeling movement at around 20 weeks, but Peanut has really been moving a lot lately. I absolutely love this feeling. It makes me feel like he is healthy and perhaps reacting to a noise, or something going on. Sanjay was able to feel movement for the first time on Sunday April 27th right before he had to leave for Dallas. It was precious! Sanjay was talking to Peanut telling him he is going to miss him and mommy and just as he stopped talking Peanut made the biggest movement to date. Sanjay looked at me with a slightly puzzled face and wanted to make sure I felt it too. He was amazed!

This was a great weekend. Our friends Jess and Anne had us over for dinner and we had a great time. They made spaghetti, homemade bread, salad, chocolate covered strawberries and cookies for dessert. It was so nice. We celebrated Sanjay's mom's birthday at their house and we just spent the rest of the weekend together enjoying eachother.

I am really enjoying being preggers lately! Besides the obvious joys such as hearing the heartbeat, seeing our little guy during the ultrasound, reading about his growth, feeling movement, seeing Sanjay's excitement through the different stages, going to Babies R Us for the first time, and the anticipation of meeting little Peanut, there are also cool things about being pregnant; not having my little monthly friend, getting new clothes (thanks Jess), having a tight stomach again for the first time since High School (Hee-Hee), and having a motivation to eat healthy.
