one year anniversary just passed. both with my man and my cousin's death. time sure flies and at the same time, it feels like there isn't enough time. i got to see all my cousins this weekend as they flew in to yonkers from all over the country for my cousin's one year. yes i am amidst controversy, being unmarried and pregnant, although no one has really approached me to my face to say anything bad. they either avoid "the topic"/me all together or they seem to be very happy for me. ...although my aunt did speak to my fiance about getting married before the baby was born. it seems to be a concern for many.
kind of hard to ignore the stomach. i am now in my 23rd week and i think my tummy has exploded in size from just 2 weeks ago. i went shopping for a dress yesterday to wear at my friend's wedding, and the baby bump is definitely center stage.

gurgle, bubble, pop..kick!
So my stomach's been gurgling a lot lately and sometimes it feels like a bubble popping, and recently when I put my hand where it feels like it's about to pop, it's a little kick! It's the baby moving. Sometimes my belly will get super hard in one spot - maybe it's the baby's head or butt pushing against me to change position. It feels awkward and slightly uncomfortable. I was worried because I hadn't been feeling any movement at all. But now I do. Looking forward to more because it's utterly amazing and fascinating that there's life inside me. It's so natural yet so odd, the miracle and mystery of life.
I am now past my 20th week, starting my 21st week. I went to the specialist on Friday and I got to see the baby's little hands and feet, all ten fingers and all ten toes! They looked at his heart, lung, brain development, spinal cord, etc. via sonogram. Won't get results until my next visit to the OB but everything seemed ok to me, not that I'm a sonogram expert. We even got a photo of his wee willy winky - 95% it's a boy. Looks pretty obvious in the photo. So, is it embarrassing to forward this photo to people? Too late. Already sent it out to people.
Hmm still working on a name for the baby. Will me and my man ever agree on a name? Maybe when the baby is actually born.
Hopefully we will have an apartment finalized this week...I am waiting to hear back from the mgmt company about our application/credit check.
