I had my monthly check-up today. Not too much to report at all. Everything looks and sounds great. Got to hear the heartbeat again..150bpm is just so fast! Doc said that she only hears one heartbeat so we're set with only one in there. I scheduled my ultrasound to be in a couple weeks so that'll be even more exciting. We only know what we saw at our first one but it was just the little blob on the screen. This time we'll get to actually see features on him/her, so we can't wait.
Something new this week...and so cool. I started to feel movements down there! That is the coolest/weirdest/creepiest thing! I noticed some funny feelings this past Sunday but didn't think too much about it. By time Sunday night came it dawned on me that it was the baby moving in there...after remembering what all of my books describe. I checked with the doctor and explained what I felt and she said that's exactly what it was. It's like having a butterfly in there that all of a sudden flaps it's wings and then stops real quickly..or like having a muscle twitch way inside for a couple seconds. Very cool. Chris got really excited thinking he'd be able to feel them but then I had to tell him that he probably won't get to feel them from the outside for another few weeks. Sorry dude, they're only for me:) I notice that I feel them most when I'm at work during the day sitting at my desk.
Also, I had my first experience clothes shopping for 'belly-friendly' stuff. It's so weird walking to the maternity section of a store thinking "Does that tent really look good on people?" Good Lord. Thankfully there is some really cute clothing to choose from also. I'm at the point now where my regular shirts are riding up on my belly so I'm needing some coverage. We don't need to look like white trash walking around now do we? From what I hear the saving grace of most preggies are spaghetti strap tank tops that are snug and long enough to pretty much wear under anything..I got a couple of those and they've made all of my shirts wearable still...and they cover up the unbuttoned jeans that are starting to be necessary:) Oh yeah, and Target is my friend. They have the most comfortable non-maternity gaucho capri knit pants that work perfectly for an expanding belly. I'm going to wear those out this summer. So, for this stage I'm getting by wearing 'regular people' clothes since most maternity pieces are still too big and puffy.

Isn't it crazy feeling a little human inside of you???? It's such a hard concept to grasp until it's happening to you. Congrats on the "flutters"!
And for you and Chris, I'm glad it's just one baby - but personally, I'm disappointed - twins in the family would be so fun!!!
Just one....man we were hoping for triplet girls!!
Oh Little Krugie - I love the way you flutter in mamma's belly. Daddy will feel you very soon bouncing around in the womb. One day you will be moving like a roller coaster in there. And one day mamma will say, "enough is enough, I want you out of my belly!"
I was a little saddened to hear that you will not have a baby brother or sister to join you, but that's okay. There is always a next time. My goal is to have mamma with successful pregnangies and births, based on what I went through.
The day is getting closer were I will be able to hold you, kiss you, and sing to you.
Love,
Nagy
Need to take a course in spelling. As many times as I proof read the words there is always a couple that seem to slip by. Oh well, sorry baby Krugie.
Have you tried the rubber band on the button tick yet? It makes those pants last a bit longer. I used that trick alot! I bought a ton of clothes at Target, Kohls, and Motherhood. Motherhood definitley had the trendiest clothes around.
