Holler if you hear me!

We yell at you a lot. I mean A LOT! As a Kostella you'll find that being yelled at is a fun happy silly thing we do everyday. I don't know when it started but Chad and I like to just yell. Maybe that's why when we argue the volume is little more than a whisper. Yelling means fun. You've been able to hear since about week 16 so we do a lot of "Baby!!", "Hello?!", "It's your mom!" and "It's your dad!".
So I'm writing today because I have felt you so much today! I mean way more than ever. It's such a relief to feel you popping around in there. Usually when we go to bed I lay on my left side and fold up a blanket under my belly. I usually feel you every night and I soooo look forward to that 10-15 minutes of popping around before I go to sleep. This afternoon and tonight I've felt it so many times. It's such and incredible feeling. It's fluttery and poppy. You'll tap in the same spots and usually by the time i get my hand down to feel it you quit. It's like a game. Today though you kept on tapping so I could feel those strong kicks or punches in my hand.
Pregnancy is wild. What they say is so true about the 2nd trimester. This trimester is so great. 9 days until we get to find out if you are Oliver or Rose. Holy cow!

Kicks for all to feel! This is getting very real!

Chad felt you tonight. 10/15/13 around 10:30. His reaction was hilarious. We are so lucky to get to feel you this early. I usually feel you late at night and I don't want to go to sleep because I hate missing out on those flutters! Tonight you were more active than ever. I battled some major MAJOR heartburn tonight so I'm wondering if that had something to do with your wildness. Broke down and ate some antacids. Keep on fluttering baby, I'm loving every minute!

Update and baby belly shot!

I felt the baby kick. 9/21 2:22pm. Walking and have to pee so bad! 12 wks 2 days!!

Haha. So I've been told there's no way that I felt the baby that early but I know what I felt. I've felt it a lot more too and it's happening more frequently now. I can't explain it. Most website say it feels like popcorn popping or butterflies. What I feel I guess is more like popcorn but it kind tumbles as well. Yes, I do realize that the baby is only 3 inches long but I swear I'm feeling it!
So let's fast forward to today! I'm 14 weeks! Had an appointment today and a nurse listened to the heart tones. She said they sound really great. It was different than the ultrasound heartbeat. It was swishy and beautiful. Baby's got great rhythm!
So the best part about today was that Dr. Garas said at the next appointment he'll do the anatomy scan! That means we find out if it's Oliver Gray or Rose "fill-in-the-blank Kostella. I am so anxious to find out! I also want one of those ridiculously cute profile ultrasound photos so we can see the little nose and chin.
Today was certainly a fun day!
A little more about yesterday.. This entry is a bit scattered i realize but who knows when I'll get around to blogging again. I didn't post yesterday b/c I'm waiting for my photos to upload so it'll all get posted together. Got some good belly shots yesterday. Getting bigger!
