I've recently become overly paranoid that I haven't been able to feel the baby kick yet! Keep in mind that everything I read and the doctor even said that we won't feel the baby kick until probably week 18 (I'm currently 17+ weeks). For me, feeling the baby kick would be an indication that everything is going as scheduled. I find myself worrying over nothing and completely silly things - I wonder if the baby is comfortable, hiccuping yet, forming eyelashes, or oh my word is the baby's heartbeat still strong????!!!! Geez oh peat, am I going to worry like this (or even worse) for the next 18+ years of this child's life? Probably! It's not a worry where I'm going into a panic, but there are overwhelming thoughts of worry that go through my mind throughout each day. The two things I'm most excited about in the next few weeks: Feeling the baby kick and Seeing how much our baby has developed when we get the sonogram on July 28th.
New developments: My belly button has been inching further and further closer to the surface of my belly - kind of creepy! Mitch likes to check the progress every night when he talks to the baby before going to sleep and give me a play by play on my "belly button status."
Dad-to-be Developments: Mitch has a routine of talking to the baby in the morning before he heads out and then also at bedtime. It tickles me that he insists on lifting up the belly portion of my shirt and crouching down to talk to the baby! Mitch hasn't seemed to get annoyed with my mood swings and sore feet yet - He offers to rub my feet each night - what a trooper!
Happy Thursday!

Looking good Mama Beck!!
I read the opening of this blog entry to Aaron, and he said, "that would sooo be you" about the freaking out and being uber paranoid, and he's right. Sometimes we just can't help being paranoid types.
I am glad to hear everything is going well for you both, and also glad there is a way to keep updated :-)
Glad Mitch is being a trooper!
Cheers,
Bob :-)
Whioa!! Is that really my great grandad who just blessed my heart ?Ok. I'll start kicking just to keep everybody happy----especially my Mom.But according to Gramama these baby hormones must really be flipping around "cause this worrying Becky is not the same carefree devil she knows.Once I start rolling around she'll be begging for mercy.
