Lotsa kicks!

Right now I'm at 24 weeks...almost 25 weeks and I've been feeling the baby kick quite a bit.....very cool! They aren't very hard kicks, just little taps....I was looking at my stomach and you can see it moves a bit when she does it. I love feeling it.....it makes me feel so connected to the baby :) I'm also finally starting to look pregnant.....for a while there I just felt and looked super bloated. I've also started taking prenatal yoga on Tuesdays (in downtown Fullerton, called Freeman Yoga)....it's been a great experience so far, especially being in the room with a bunch of other pregnant ladies. Our yoga instructor Sandy is super funny...so it's an enjoyable class. She's always giving lots of good advice because she's also a birth doula (she knows all about pregnancy and birth!) and I've learned a lot from her already. The class is more like a stretching class...getting us ready for childbirth by stretching our hips and all. Some of you have asked how baby is doing and so far, she's doing fine....as long as I feel her move inside me, I think she's ok. Mommy of course is doing good too.....been back at work so when I get home, I'm just exhausted. Sleeping, as it has always been, is especially nice....so are HOT showers. Gosh it's just been so cold these days so a nice HOT shower feels really good on the skin and the belly. I've never been one to take long showers but lately....I just want to be in there forever...but I can't because the water eventually gets cold. Anyway, that's me for now......more news later after I see my doctor again in the next couple of weeks.
