Kicks and weddings

well this weekend was fun! we had our friends wedding (Chad and Torrey, you both looked wonderful!) of course i was the lucky designated driver, my parents took advantage of us also, and just spent the night by us since we lived so close to the reception hall. it was a perfect day and everything was wonderful.
~~ i think the most wonderful part of the weekend was on Sunday. grant has been trying to feel baby k kick for the longest time. and finally on Sunday he felt it!! we were laying on the couch and his hand was on my belly, he gets frustrated because as soon as he puts his hand on my belly the baby stops. so he moved his hand off, and then kick...kick. so i told him put your hand here. then all of a sudden BAM! a big kick left of my belly button right in the palm of Grant's hand. i asked "did you feel THAT!" he says "i think so :0)!" i was so happy i even teared up a little. he was so happy to have finally felt baby k. then of course the baby was quiet the rest of the night. But then again last night we were laying down and he had his hand on my belly and all of a sudden " i felt it again :)" i love that he gets to experience the kicks now. the baby is very active and rolls around and kicks, and punches a lot when it does... baby k has its own routine down already and usually when i get in to work in the morning and eat something the baby goes crazy. and around the afternoon there is another huge spurt of movement. then of course at night when i am settling in and relaxing on grant the baby has to make itself known and kick away :) it seems like another step... to think that on Thursday i will be 24 weeks already. 6 months! holy moly. i will have to do the survey and put up a picture. i have my Dr's appointment on Thursday so we will see what my weight is now...maybe i will finally gain something!?

the only non wonderful part, i couldn't sleep at all Saturday night. it seems when i stay up "late" i can't fall asleep or stay sleeping. we got home at like 130 or so and i couldn't fall asleep i got up and had to pee at 130, 230, 330, 430, and 530. funny thing is i didn't drink anything at the wedding! i had 1 soda with supper. later on like 830 i wanted a kitty cocktail (guy didn't have cherry juice so made me a cranberry cocktail instead...Not as good.) then some water at 1130. that's it! plus they were in the to-go cups so they were really small. i don't know if it was b/c someone else was sleeping at the house or what...also it didn't help that grant was snoring in bed, and if any of your lovely husbands drink and then snore in bed we all know how hard it is to get them to stop! usually if grant drinks enough he will sleep in the living room so that his snoring doesn't bother me. but with my parents sleeping on both couches, and him not wanting to get stepped on sleeping on the floor, that meant he slept in bed with me. oh well i took a nap on Sunday, and then last night fell asleep at 915 on the couch. i think i have caught myself up now :)

this weekend we have another wedding. Grant's cousin Matt and fiance Krystal. it should be fun...maybe a little crazy too. there priest is Matt's friend that has a mo hawk, wearing a kilt, and also playing the guitar during the ceremony. they are getting married at a chapel, but still a little crazy! to each there own, it will be fun to not have a "stuffy" wedding to have to go to. so that should be our fun and crazy weekend!

and i will be sure to load a 6 month belly pic and the survey to keep you all up to date! then of course the next ultrasound is in Sept. when they will be checking on my placenta again. but of course i will be around many times before that :)
also don't forget about the baby pool we have set up
