there's a rumbling

outside....and in my tummy!!!

we had our first thunderstorm of the year this afternoon and it was great. short lived, but great. i love the sound of thunder and my newly planted flowers appreciate the free watering. and with the first thunderstorm of the year, i think i'm also feeling the first movements of our little chickadee this week. it's not all the time, but every now and then it will feel like a bubble popping in my belly. and no, it's not gas!

and if my recent ultrasounds give any prediction on the activity level of chickadee i'm going to be in trouble! s/he seems to always be moving and jumping around on the screen. although i'm enjoying feeling the flutters now, i know i might not be so excited 4-5 months from now when i'm trying to sleep! but for now, i'm excited. i can't wait until grady will be able to feel movement from the outside. i know that's not for awhile though.

on a side note...20 more days until gender hatching!!! :)
