* only 156 days to go! *


so i'm 17 1/2 weeks now... and things are finally starting to get interesting! yesterday was a momentous day because i finally feel truly pregnant. first, i was (finally) offered a seat on the mtr!! i was wondering if that day will ever come.... it was very exciting, since we were on our way to tung chung to see more flats. i think we may have found it, even if it is a little out of our budget. it's just beautiful, and the landlord has already agreed to go down a lot for us.

the other thing is that i have definitively begun to feel the baby kicking!! i've felt some flutters before, but i couldn't be sure whether it was the baby or just bad gas or my bowels hard at work... but yesterday i could actually feel the baby pushing hard against one side of my stomach and kicking all day. it's a bit weird at first because you're not sure what it is, but exciting all the same. now the baby seems that much more real.

there are many finallys because the first few months go by so slowly, and it felt like the longest 17 weeks ever. but hopefully things will go a bit faster and christmas comes soon!

i would put a picture up but we keep forgetting to take one. but i guess my stomach is starting to look more like a pregnant belly rather than a beer belly.
