Last night as Mark and I were laying in bed reading I felt something inside of me! I didn't think too much of it until I felt the same sort of movement again soon after. I said to Mark, "I think I just felt Jared!" I put my hand back on my lower tummy to see if I felt anything again and a few minutes later it happened again! So I got really excited and had Mark move his hand over and after a few minutes he felt it too! It was so fun!
When I had my ultrasound I was informed that I have an anterior placenta so it is in the front so there is a big cushion between Jared and I. I had read that most people feel their baby move anywhere from 16 weeks (second pregnancy people) to 20 weeks. Since I was informed of the placenta position and I had really no idea what to expect I wasn't expecting to feel anything for awhile. Well, I was just laying down reading again and I felt the same movement! It's so cool!!! It's so fun to know that he is in there doing something. I hope he is comfortable. It felt like he was just kicking against me. I love all these things that make Jared seem more real.
As you can see in this picture I do not necessarily look pregnant but I look more like I have just gained weight. Oh well. As you can see on the counter we are 21 1/2 weeks. It's nice to know we are half way done and everything has gone really well. I for sure feel more tired after doing things like walking around the park but other than that I feel great. Jared has been treating me well and I am so thankful! Tomorrow we head down to Colorado Springs to check out Mark's school and housing options. Should be fun.

I'm so glad you are feeling Jared and getting to enjoy the miracle of "growing" a baby. I absolutely loved having a friend with me all the time. I was never lonely when I was pregnant! You look beautiful!
Yay! That's always exciting. I was lucky and felt Eliza at 16 weeks, and each subsequent one after that sooner. No sooner than 14, though. ;)
That is so exciting. You look awesome too for being 21 weeks. Can't wait to see pictures of this little Jared. Good luck with Colorado Springs. Chris' brother & his family lived there for awhile and loved it. The zoo is amazing. You can actually feed the giraffes. Make sure you go sometime.
Wow, you look all growed up more than ever before, luv ya and so happy for you!
