Will it be Tap or Jazz

She's going to be a dancer, the question is will it be Tap, Jazz or Ballroom (particularly the Mambo) Haha, Get it? The Marley Mambo?! Okay, in all honesty, I didn't come up with that on my own, it came from the book Marley and Me. But, it is fitting, she wiggles around just like the dog did in the movie :) This little girl is most definitely a mover and a shaker. She's moving around constantly and although she sometimes causes Mommy some pain, it's really cool to feel and watch. It's as if she's saying "Don't forget about me in here." Though now that I think about it...there are a lot of times that I feel her all over...as if she's moving her arms and hands at the same time as her legs and feet...maybe she'll be a swimmer after all!!

AND BOY IS SHE STUBBORN. Our daughter definitely has a mind of her own...does that come more from Mommy or Daddy...I'm not quite sure. When she is wiggling about and causing me pain I'll push or rub on the area and ask her to move, but she won't have it. She stays rooted right where she is and will move more as if to say "HA, I do what I want!" I don't doubt we are going to have our hands full...

Other than that there isn't much new to report. I have a doctor's appointment next Thursday but things have been uneventful, which is excellent. I do still have the occasional contraction here and there and my discomfort is increasing, but then again so is my belly and that's just how it rolls when your pregnant. On another note, I've been finding Lady Bugs all over the house; by the backdoor, in my bathtub, and mostly on the windowsill in the nursery. Well, superstitions say that Lady Bugs are a sign of Good Luck. I'm a fan of being superstitious when it's in my favor, so I'm going to take it as a sign that Little Miss won't be here before March. (Did I just jinx myself, or challenge my daughter, who obviously has a mind of her own, to prove me wrong??) We shall see...
