I Felt Her Move!

It finally happened. I was at our friend Louis' house in Hampton Bays, laying in bed next to a shirtless Donovan, watching Duran Duran sing "Girls On Film" (they STILL have it going on!) at the Live Earth concert on Saturday night, when all of a sudden, my index finger, which was laying on my lower belly, moved up and down. James was somewhere out by the pool, probably (and rightfully so) enjoying his 4th martini of the evening. It was AMAZING to feel her. The feeling was definitely familiar - but I now recognize that movement as her shifting around, and not gas bubbles. Now, I feel her move all the time. She's very active.I feel like it's real now. This isn't a dream. She's really growing inside me. THERE'S SOMETHING GROWING INSIDE ME!!!! I have to admit that I can't really think about it too much, because I kinda get grossed out at times. But it is an incredible feeling to know that I've helped create that special THING...a HUMAN...that is now housed in my body. This is all too weird at times.

Yesterday, I had my anatomy scan. This was "The Big Scan" that all expectant mothers look forward to. It's a detailed ultrasound of all the body parts and organs to make sure everything is there, growing normally. Aren't the pictures unbelievable? The first 3 are 3-D and the last 2 are 4-D. Look at her sucking her thumb! And the last picture, she's posing, hand by head, with a smile. Crazy. I'm on schedule. Due November 27th. She's 12 oz now.

The Hamptons was incredibly relaxing. Louis has this cute yellow 1 bedroom house equipped with a greenhouse, a love shack, and a pool. There were 2 other guests, but James and I were fortunate enough to occupy the love shack. I ate like a pig and fully enjoyed every minute of it. Bloated belly? Hell no - I'm pregnant! I was a bit self-conscious in my bikini but I got over it quickly. I did like my new rack and showing off my slight cleavage. I kid you not, I went up a whole cup size- a "B", which is big for Jenny. Cleavage shots to come...

The heat is killing me. I usually like the heat and humidity and can tolerate it very easily, however, being pregnant is quite a task in this weather.

Another belly shot taken yesterday. It doesn't look as though I've grown much since last week, but it sure does feel that way.
