The 19th week

I am really beginning to feel big. I had a really hard time last night getting comfortable before bed, but I think thats normal. Its real hard to lay on my tummy, which is my favorite sleeping position. I can feel this cantalope type shape resting on my abdomden. Kinda werid and funny at the same time. Our little pea's legs are the size of our baby fingers (aprrox.) And I continue to feel them daily, however Papa hasn't felt yet. We are eager for that to happen. We wake most mornings with the LOUD singing of the birds all around us, I think it must alarm baby cause thats when s/he is movin' the most. We have our 20wk ultrasound on May 20th and hope to NOT see the area. I am sure a leg or something will be covering... Matt and I have been discussing our birthing plan and we have decided to train with the Bradley Method and go in using that to embrace the contractions. We are gonna take a 12 wk set of classes that will get us all prepared. 99% of Bradley trained students have drug-free labours, so that is what we hope. However, we want to be ready for anything and we allow medical assistance if needed under certain circumstances. We are gettin' close only 146 days away.....*wink wink* Love, mamamartin
