It's been quite an exciting week! I think that I felt the baby move! I'm not too sure (gas was the other option), but I was laying in bed a couple nights ago and felt......hmmm....I'm not even too sure how to describe it.....butterflies seem to make it sound too light, and it was stronger than that. When I feel it happen more I'll try to explain better how it feels.
Also - not as pleasant, I'm feeling "stretching" in parts of my lower abdomen. It mostly happens when I've sat for a long period of time and then get up to walk around. It literally feels like there is stretching inside my body.
Today David and I had another doctor appointment. We got to hear the heartbeat, beating a little over 150bpm. We have read online that heartbeats over 140 could be a sign of a girl (and we were told today they are right half the time! ha ha). And according to the Chinese birth calendar, I'm also having a girl (well......depending on what calendar you use....as I did find one that said I was having a boy). It's fun guessing, but October 29th will be the day that we decide whether or not we will find out. That's the day of the 20 week ultrasound!!! This will be a really exciting appointment, and we should get lots of pictures for posting, so mark your calendars! We are also able to hear the baby moving around inside. The little microphone thingy sounded like it was getting kicked....so we know the baby's moving around!
I haven't gotten much bigger, so I think that one day I'll just wake up and it will all have just popped out! I've gained almost 5 pounds since my last appointment only three weeks ago, so since I'm not getting any bigger on the outside, maybe I'll be birthing a 10 lb baby! :) (EEKS! Lets hope not!)
That's all the news we have this week.
Have a great week, and I love everyone!

Glad things went well today. It is definitely the baby you feel. Be patient, pretty soon you will see your belly move- which is REALLY Cool! Wow, at the end of next month you will be half way through! If you guys don't want to know what it is, have the tech write it down and mail it to me-(I promise I will keep it a secret)!!!! :) Love you lots!
Love Joanne (Julie's little sister)
Butterflys is exactly what I used to describe my first feelings of baby movement. Try lying down on the bed without a pillow and you may feel it more. October 29th halloween eve...cool....I hope you find out. I think its a girl. Love Mom
