What the deuce?

Had a little twinge feeling the other day in my tummy.  It went away as fast as it came.  Had it again earlier today.  At lunch it got a lot worse.  Little pangs of pinching feelings.

Reading up, it sounds like "fluttering."  Fluttering is what women call the first few round-house kicks and sucker punches your baby produces.  I'm calling these little jabs by their full names because I know that in a few months, that's exactly what they'll feel like.  Most women feel fluttering around 16 weeks and on.  Some don't feel it until 20 weeks and very few feel it later.  I'm at 15 weeks and 1 day so it's kind of early... but there is no mistake that these little pangs aren't gas bubbles.  (Which is one of the ways that they're discribed. That and butterflies or goldfish.)

Darren & I walked over to the Rossi for lunch and it started again shortly after we started eating.  For something so tiny and weak, I'm amazed at how much energy and thrust MiniKam has!

Can't wait to go see Dr. Balaloski next Tuesday.  I hope he can slide us into the ultrasound room for a quick peek at our little acrobat.  Maybe find out what MiniKam's name will be?

Will it be little Ivy Ophelia or Kol Darwin?

I need to get to Joann's to pick out some fabrics for the nursery.  I'm looking for organics and baby-safe fabrics but I'm also kind of picky on colors.  I'd like to know if I can accent it with pink or blue... gawd, how I hate pastel yellow & green.  *BARF*  Either way, I need to start sewing.  I just can't stand the thought of spending $1000 on infant bedding that I only kind of like or hate alltogether so the only way to be sure I'm getting my moneys worth is to make it myself... also save about $900 in the process!!!

Got my Christmas shopping done, not doing Hanukkah shopping this year as Darren's family has said "no gifts" and there isn't much to shop for on the Yule aside from my log cake which I NEED to survive, it's chocolate... ok?  But I'm pretty much ready for the holidays this year... still gotta get those cards out though.  I'm lazy.  : P 

Gotta take some belly pics...
