I felt Poppy move!!! Around 18 weeks I felt the baby kick me!! I wan an unreal experience! I was so emotional I cried haha! It totally took me off guard and baby hasn’t disappointed me since. Poppy loves to swim about and poke me and make sure I know he or she is still making his/her presence known to Mommy!! Justin tries very hard to feel the baby too, he will talk to my belly in his funny cartoon voices and just being goofy Daddy and I absolutely love it!!
Belly is definitely popping out much more now. Today I actually felt the baby kick when I had my hand on my belly. I tried to have Justin feel, but he couldn’t. I can’t wait until he can feel the baby too. I’m seriously considering getting a better fetal doppler to listen to the baby. My mom got us one but I have a hard time finding it and the girls on my FB group have them and they are much less far along than me and find it easily. It would be exciting I think to listen at night, especially for Justin until he can feel the baby the way I do!!

| 20 Weeks |
This week (Tuesday) we get to find if Poppy is a boy or a girl so I can finally start referring to baby as him or her and not him/her (I refuse to call the baby it – just too impersonal for me) I’m going to try my darnedest to keep my mouth shut until we can take some photos for a gender reveal photo. I would love to do a party but I don’t think I can wait that long. My sister is mad at me b/c I’m making her wait like everyone else to find out. I’m going to do the pictures right after the appointment to post them since my mom can’t keep her mouth shut, Justin can’t keep his shut, nor can I keep my mouth shut!! I toyed around with a couple of Pinterest ideas and I’m settled on one idea. Hopefully Justin won’t find it too cheesy and cooperate with me…I’ll make sure to bat my eyelashes!!
Got a couple of things for Baby this week used from my sister’s friend from nursing school. Total steal. We have a glider now and at least one high chair. Also got a pack and play for my mom’s house. I got Justin on board with the crib I liked best and hopefully he will be on board with the stroller too!! I’ve been teetering between just getting them now or registering for them. I’d prefer to have them here so I can begin to NEST in the nursery, but we’ll see.
