Sweet baby-
I want to write down so we always remember...you are a mover BIG time now! Its so cute, you even wake me up at night...your little body twirls and whirls all around inside my tummy! And sometimes you kick or move so hard to one side of my womb that I loose balance! You are so sweet...I love to feel you tapping me under my hand...and so does daddy...trust me he is your number one fan...well he and I are both your number one fans!

Shower, Europe-Baby Moon, and reality hits! ;)
So I have a ton of pics from my super special and fabulous baby shower in California, where my sister, mom and best friend Barbie, blessed me with a day filled with friends and food and love love love!!!!
People came from all over Southern and Northern Cal and Bakersfield to share in the joy of this time in my life...to love on me and my baby BOY!!!
But those will have to come later....as they are just barely being downloaded now!!!!
So here is a pic from our time in Germany. One of the days, while Mike was at a conference, I went to Heidelberg- a small, beautiful historic University town along the Neckar river- and walked the cobble stone streets and went to a cafe where I ate and read and just relaxed! So here I am trying to get a pic of the baby and me together! And for some reason I love that the guy in the background is smiling on us! :)
There's so much more to share, of being pampered by friends, not one dish did I have to do in one week...to seeing Mike's cousins who also spoiled us-and who are super fun-(also now that I have my little baby boy I feel soo much more connected to Mike's family bc not only are they Mike's family and my in laws but my sweet son, who I am carrying in my womb, they are his family!) to meeting up with a friend, Ruth, who I had met while working in Africa-she drove 2 hours just to see me!
Then there's Paris...lets just say I LOVE being with just my husband...and I love Paris...it's like New York, the fact that its urban and diverse, but its way more charming, and old...and there are so many West African's there and you know how I love Africa....and all the pastries-my poor baby was on a sugar high I am sure! Mike and I rented a little apartment in a cute neighborhood and throughly enjoyed our time just us...two wait three! :) It was an amazing baby moon...more pics to come!
Now reality is just kicking in...pregnancy was a dream until...my back started aching, my legs too, then my breathing started becoming awkward, and my gums so swollen it hurts to eat, and now I have canker sores covering the inside of my mouth, and its seems more come every few hours! And that has caused my lymph nodes to inflame which in turn has caused pain to run all along my jaw! Ahhh so if you read this pray that I can have a good attitude, it is really hard! But I want to have a good attitude especially for my husband and my baby-who by now can hear everything I say..ahh! :)

Week 21 (just about a month ago)
Week 21-
Thursday morning while daddy was praying over you with his hand on my belly you kicked him...your first "thump!"
Until then it was just little movements that felt like tiny bubbles popping in my belly but lately your are thumping me!
Then while we were at a Rosh Shashana service you thumped us-you enjoyed learning about your Jewish heritage! :)
And always when I am at the computer-and when you are moving I stop what I am doing and sometimes lay down and try and watch you-but sometimes you stop-its prob the laying down maybe that position is comfy for you and you just settle in and relax! :)
But I did see you thumping around a bit yesterday my skin moving up and down just a hair!
And today you kicked really high up in my torso-could you be way up there? ;)
