We have now entered a new year and with it a new stage of the pregnancy. Michael and I had a nice, quiet Christmas at home with our cat, Molokai (we call him Kai for short). New Years Eve again was just us at home with a bottle of Sparkling Apple-Mango Cider (very yummy!)
New Years day I got a little bit of a surprise: baby's kicks are becoming more distinct. Before, it was random fluttering. Now it's actual bumps and kicks. The kicking is still not extremely frequent, but I am feeling it more often. Up until New Years, I had only felt the flutters when I was sitting or laying down, but there were a couple times when I would feel it standing up and it would catch me off guard. It's such a fun feeling!
In a little over a week, I start back at school again and we get back into the daily grind. I'm actually looking forward to most of my classes this semester. In about 3 weeks, we will finally get to find out the gender of the baby!
