4 months from today, September 18, 2009, our sweet baby boy is due. We can't wait for this precious day...we have waited over three years for this. I am 22 weeks now, and I am starting to feel a lot better. I pray everyday that God blesses me with healing and looking forward. I pray that God continues to keep Bradyn and I healthy, and that I go full term with him. We have an ultrasound next week on May 28th. The docs said that after this appointment, as long as I am still going good, and the ultrasound shows the same good news we heard last time, I can be a "normal" pregnant lady! I will still be causcious, I am at risk for other things, but I can actually go to a store, and hey possibly start to make a registry! Not like that will take that long, considering I have known what I have wanted FOREVER!!!!
For all people who are pregnant or have had a baby...how do I know when cramps are ok? I swear somedays I am crampier than others. I am sure I feel more then others because I am sitting most of the time. Also, sometimes, Bradyn is so active, it feels like he is going to kick right through my cervix...is this normal? All this is so new, and I love feeling him kick...even though I feel bad that Bob cant feel him yet...but soon!
Again, I want to thank everyone for their prayers...they mean the world to Bob and I...we cant thank you enough!

I'm happy to hear that you are feeling better!!!
Both you and Dani have know what you've wanted for the longest time :0).....Babies products are so cool.....They are always coming out with newer and better stuff all the time.....Making a registry is super exciting......Also, when you go to Babies R Us pregnant, you really feel like you belong there.....ha ha :0)......
The cramps are probably just your uterus stretching......My cramps were worse with my first, because this was all new to my body.......
Also, with both babies I had Braxton Hicks contractions from about 13 weeks on......So my belly would get super tight feeling and it would press up against my bladder, .....I would feel the need to run for the nearest bathroom :0)
Cramping is normal. You feel it from time to time because your uterus continues to stretch from its normal size (the way my doctor explained it - your uterus is usually the size of a fist. It is growing bigger everyday to make room for the baby). You feel the ligaments stretching. As Bradyn continues to grow, you will feel his kicks become stronger and it will feel weird. You'll start to feel him more in the coming weeks.
As Alyson said, the Braxton-Hicks contractions can start up, but usually those occur more when you are active and moving around. You will know because your whole abdomen will tighten up. Not too much longer and Bob will be able to feel the baby. I remember being frustrated because I could feel Maddie and James couldn't.
I'm so happy for you and glad that things are going well. Keep thinking positive thoughts and do what you are doing... it's working!
