The New Baby

The most exciting development of the past week has been experiencing baby move. I think this baby is just as wiggly as my Vito was, but I'm feeling him/her quite a bit earlier, and maybe that's why it feels different. Although my stomach is quite large, my pants never fit, and I can feel baby move, the whole thing still doesn't feel quite real to me, and the movement is still surprising. Also interesting is that baby and Vito seem to have the same wiggly times. I think the reason this pregnancy seems less real may be because we got to have an ultrasound quite early with Vito. We still have 20 days til our ultrasound with this little one. I am excited to find out what we are having, as I think it will make everything seem more real, and it may motivate us to really choose a boy's name if we need to. If not, it is one less thing to worry about, but means I will be sorting and washing a lot of girls clothes, since Vito's old clothes are still clean and organized. I am also excited as we were able to schedule our ultrasound at Jim Everson's office, and I am assured by the receptionist that he should be in that afternoon. Although Vito tried very hard to hide his gender from us, Jim still came out with the correct prediction (although he was only 95% sure :). Plus Jim just looks so familiar that it makes everything less crazy, and it makes me laugh when I think of Aunt Lissa having had a crush on him in yesteryears. I will keep you all updated!
