Definitely feeling baby movements

So I am definitely feeling baby movements now. They aren't the fluttering like everyone describes, it feels more like little pokes and I can feel the baby flipping over in my belly. It is pretty cool! It makes me know that the baby is healthy and doing well in there!

9 Month Jemma Update

So Jemma turned 9 months a few days ago. She is great!!

Her personality:

In general, she is not very cuddly.

She will not sit still, she just goes and goes and goes and goes.

She will eat almost everything. I think there are very few things we give her that she doesn't like. Its nice. She has been Kenzie's trashcan for everything Kenzie doesnt want to eat.

She LOVES to jump. She jumps on laps and the first thing she does when she wakes up in the morning is jumps up and down in her crib.

She is definitely a little Daredevil. She falls down and laughs about it. She seems to have no fear. When she was bathing with Kenzie she even started standing up in the tub then flopping down on her face thinking it is the funniest thing in the world. It was nearly giving me a heart attack.

She also likes to pull hair, even her own. She even pulls her own hair out. She especially pulls on it when she is tired and/or drinking a bottle. She likes pulling other peoples hair too and can be a bit of a bully.

Loves to climb on things. She climbs up the back of the sofa and on everything. She is our little monkey!

Smiles pretty frequently now and laughs a little easier too.

Is the ultimate rubber necker. When she is in her high chair or in the grocery store cart, she likes looking at everything and always has her head spun around trying to see everything.

9 Month Check up

So Jemma had her 9 month check up today and the doctor said she is perfect! She weighed 19.5 lbs and is in the 65th percentile. She is growing perfectly. She has already reached many of the 12 month milestones like standing up on her own and walking along furniture. The doctor asked about her clapping and I said she didn't but she flaps and the doctor said that is good enough. She said she will start making other vowel sounds soon as well.

Denise came with me to the doctors appt and there was a Jericho storm going on at the time. On the way there we heard a tornado warning at the Highland house so we had to call our parents and tell them to go into the basement. We got into the doctors office right as the rain started pouring down.

She got 2 shots at the appt, one in each leg and she did not like that at all and screamed her head off. I gave her a bottle immediately afterwards which helped a bunch. She kept wanting on the floor but I didn't want her crawling around a doctors office.

Standing!

So Jemma is standing now for a fair amount of time on her own. It happens very sporadically and she doesn't seem to be doing it, but she can definitely do it :) The second she realizes, she plops on her butt though, its cute :)

Jemma walks one handed!!

So Jemma is now able to walk next to you just holding onto one of your hands!! :)

BabyBot2 Doctors Appt

So we had a check up this morning for BabyBot2 and everything looks good. We are still waiting for the results from the 13 week ultrasound. The heart beat was easy to find and in the 150's. I feel like it is going to be a boy, I don't know though and it's weird because I call it a she sometimes without even noticing. I weighed 145 this morning!! Eeep! Way more than I did last pregnancy at this time. My blood pressure was good at 100/88.
