I still can't believe I have made it this far. It is so exciting to feel her moving inside. It is also really hard to explain what it feels like to others. Especially when I feel movement on the front, because of my anterior placenta I can feel her but it almost feels like it is in the distance.
We have got to the exciting part where I get to buy stuff now though. We have the stroller and car seat so far. We have an idea on which crib we are going to buy just haven't done it yet. Now Tony is getting all excited about dressers and stuff for her room. She is going to have a nicer bedroom set than we do. He figures that is fair though. So even though I work nights Friday Saturday and Sunday this weekend he figures that I can get up early tomorrow -12ish- and go shopping. I will try because he is so excited about it. It is finally becoming more real. My appointments have all been okay. Although at my last one we found out that she is already engaging in my pelvis. It is about 10 weeks too early. She does come out of it though so that is a good sign the Dr said. I just have to be careful cause it she does it too much then I could have preterm labour. I really hope not. As much as I want to meet her I want her to wait a while longer. I haven't had any contractions or Braxton Hicks that i know of anyway. I am told that I will know if i do. I also don't have the Linea nigra at all. I keep looking and nothing there yet. I thought the fairer skin you have the more you get it and I have pretty fair skin. It is supposed to appear in the second trimester and I am almost starting my third so maybe I just won't get it.
On another note I really miss the snow. I mean the nice pretty stuff we had falling that made everything white. Now all we have is lots of rain. Huge puddles to climb through and messy dirty snow at the side of the road. I love the snow and really don't like the rain at all. I think I preferred the really cold -10 that we had before the snow to rain. I just hope it means that we have a great summer so that when we are up at the lake we can enjoy the sun and get more time water skiing and wake boarding. I haven't been able to go for the last 2 years because I was pregnant so now I am going to enjoy it.

My girlfriend was super pale and didn't get the line until the night before she went into labour!!! Me? I got it at 16 weeks and it's still as dark (and disgusting looking now) as ever. It bothers me cuz it's not in the middle of my stomach, so it's off centre and my OCD mind can't handle it ;)
Glad everything is going well!!!
This linea nigra — literally, the "dark line" — is likely to be more pronounced if you have darker skin
Found this on some website, thought it might help you settle about not having it yet :)
