Balancing out...a little.

Not a whole lot to say, but I did have a regular check up on Tuesday. If you remember from my last post I was measuring really big (7 weeks ahead). As of Tuesday I am only 4 1/2 weeks ahead of schedule, so that was good. Maybe I will balance out a little more :) I am still scheduled to have an ultrasound on January 24th though just to get more actually size ( they said that ultra sounds in the thirst trimester can still be off a pound and half to two!) and measurement for Cole as well as see how much fluid I have and fun stuff like that :) This is week 26, which sounds kind of crazy when the doctor is thinking I may go around 38 weeks, only 12 weeks away and Cole could be here but even if he doesn't come a little early that is only 14 weeks!! Casey says it seems sooner when you count in weeks.
Casey has been asking me for a couple weeks now, when would he be able to feel Cole kick? I was not really sure the answer to that. I know he has to get some more weight on him (according to what to expect he is around 16 inches and 2.5 lbs) and since my placenta is in the front? I was not sure, but last night we were watching TV and he was going crazy. Then I felt a few big kicks so I put my hand on my belly and thought I could feel him, but he is in me so it is hard to tell if I am actually feeling him on the outside too. I told Casey and grabbed his hand and Cole performed, well just for two kicks, but Casey's eyes lit up and he thought it was great. Then he started shaking my belly asking him to kick more, but he wouldn't, but Casey was excited that he got to feel him twice. I am sure there will be many more kicks ahead!
It was a fun moment. :)
