daddy felt it!

So I've been feeling the bubble movements since week 16- pretty early to feel it for a first time pregnancy but I chalk that up to being pretty in tune with my body from yoga etc. Well, of course Derek has been excited and anxious for his turn to feel it from outside and we were figuring about 23 weeks onward for that according to what we've read. But tonight I had some orange juice diluted with cold water around 8 pm and baby started moving pretty strongly so D put his hand over and there was a pretty strong one that he felt! He kept it there for a bit and he actually felt it a few different times! wow! so we looked it up and 19 weeks is early for that but not unheard of! So he's psyched! A day and a half before the big ultrasound.

So cute! I remember we giggled and giggled the first time daddy was able to feel Jack kicking. He kicked him three times in a row and Auggie looked so surprised and happy. I think when daddies start feeling the baby moving it makes the pregnancy seem all the more real to them. Before then, the pregnancy is so largely about us and what we feel is going on in there. Enjoy every moment, chica. You are in the best part of the pregnancy, if you ask me. - G

I am so exited for you and D. I can't believe how pregnant you look already! Are you finding out the sex? I can't remember if you told me already and I have not had time to read the entire blog yet ... J

Blog Reader Survey!

In an effort to figure out how people are getting Owen info/pix, I am trying to find out who reads this blog regularly and uses it as their main way to keep up with our family. I am finding "photo management" to be much more difficult than getting enough sleep as a new mommy! Currently I am using facebook and this blog to share pix. I am building a Shutterfly share site as well, mainly for several people who don't use facebook or read the blog as much. If you read this, could you please leave a comment to this post or send me an email to let me know: 1. How do you like to keep up with us- Junebug blog, Casaluna blog, facebook, email, or a combination? 2. Would you want to be invited to a Shutterfly sharesite and there you can opt to receive emails when we add new pix? I don't want to bombard people with photos but at the same time love the idea that they are there for people to access when they have time or inclination. Thanks for your help with this!

Babymoon

We took a "babymoon" overnight trip this Valentine's weekend down to Carlsbad. We stayed right across from the beach and had time to relax, walk on the beach, eat yummy food, shop, see my cousin C. and her fiance M., and even go to the beautiful new Encinitas library! It was a great pre-parenting getaway! Now that I'm home, I'm starting to do the heavy-duty research on what we need and don't need, and I'm realizing I don't know much! For instance-how many bottles do we need? What's the difference between travel systems, infant car seats, bases and convertible car seats? Who knew that I didn't know? Not me! Wish us luck!!
