Thump Thump!!

This morning was a very exciting morning at the Flom's!!  I was lying in bed with my hand over my stomach and I was pretty sure I could not only feel the baby inside me but could feel the baby with my hand over my stomach as well.  Josh had just gotten out of bed and headed into the bathroom to get ready.   As he shut the door I yelled for him to come back and place his hand on my stomach.  I said I wasn't sure if he would be able to feel the baby but we were going to try.  Sure enough within seconds the baby kicked and Josh's face light up as he asked, "Was that the baby going thump thump?!?!"  It sure was!  At 24 1/2 weeks Josh was able to feel the baby kicking.  It was a great morning here at the Flom's.

I know I promised pictures but we have been so busy!!  I will work really hard at getting some up!

Much love from Mama Hoot

Lil Hoot with Taco in Hand.

Welcome to 23 weeks! 

I frequently get asked if I crave anything.  The only thing I have had desperate cravings for is pie and it doesn't matter what kind of pie.  I have never craved pie in my life so I know this is the baby talking. 

Besides cravings though I have a few things that are getting me through this pregnancy...

Chipotle
Orange Soda
Rootbeer
Chipotle
Caffeine Free Regular Coke
Pasta
Did I say Chipotle yet?

Yes I have ate Chipotle more times than I can count and everytime I do Lil Hoot moves around like crazy.  One day I could hardly finish eating because there was so much movement in my stomach.  I am not sure if Lil Hoot is loving it, hating it or just trying to get comfortable since a baby and a burrito have to share some space.  And hey when a burrito outweighs you... you gotta but up a good fight!

Not just Chipotle, but all Mexican food is truly what I love to eat these days.  Nothing can keep me from a crunchy taco or some nachos deluxe!  So if you see me just get out of my way :)

I am anxious to see how our little one grows and to see if the food I am forcing Lil Hoot to eat and drink now will be baby's favorite too or am I over doing it!

I should probably try to get some updated photos for you since I am growing rapdily.  The baby is suppose to double in size this month... that means mom is suppose to get quite larger quite fast too.  What does that mean again?... my stomach is itching like crazy... my skin is loving this (sarcasm)!!!!  Dry weather, growing stomach and my fear of lotion is not a good combination.  Oh how I wish I didn't have a phobia of lotion. 

On that note... much love to you all and pics coming soon!
