Random Thoughts 2

I am 16 weeks and 5 days pregnant today. I am getting excited and nervous about my appointment next week on Thursday. I am excited to know if we are having a boy or a girl, and nervous because I am always nervous about my doctor's appointments. I have been "trying" so hard to feel the baby move this week. I have tried eating and then laying flat on my back to see if I can feel any flutters. I have tried lying on my stomach; and I have tried lying on my left side. I haven't felt anything yet!! I just keep praying I start feeling something soon, I think that would help my nerves ALOT!! I am open to suggestions...how soon did you feel you baby move, and what did you do to make it easier to feel or make the baby move??

The new venture Bill was working on fell through, so please keep praying for direction for us in the area of his job. This is an area of HUGE stress to us right now.

My friend Nichole, that I wrote about here, has a blog of her own now!! I am very excited about that!

I am really missing my cat these days. I don't know if I have ever talked about him on the blog before. He died a couple of years ago, but he was like our baby since we didn't have any kiddos. His name was kitt-katt and he was the sweetest kitty in the world. He wasn't your typical "prissy cat" he loved to be held and to cuddle. He wasn't happy unless he was near us. If Bill and I would sit by each other on the couch, he would wedge his way in between us. He was so sweet. He was almost 3 years old when he died. He had a heart condition that the vet told us wasn't serious, but proved to be fatal. We woke up one Sunday morning (Feb. 28, 2007) and he had died in the night. I have missed him in the past, but lately it seems to be worse, I think it's the pregnancy hormones, and the fact that I took his pictures out the other day and was looking at them. Anyway, I thought I would post a few pictures here and introduce you all to my baby kitt-katt!! I miss him a lot!!

He loved to sit in the window and watch the lizards play outside.

This was his favorite place when we started a fire in the fire place. Whenever Bill brought fire wood in the house (before the fire was ever started) he would go lay down right in this same spot every time and wait for Bill to get the fire going.
