I finally felt the baby move!

It's not that I was worried, because we have to get so many sonograms that I know the kid is fine in there. But, it is weird when people tell you, "Oh, I felt my baby kick at 16 (17, 18, 19) weeks" and it was like 23 weeks for me and I hadn't felt a thing. But then the other morning I finally felt the thing moving around. Since then I've felt it three times and Danny actually felt it, too. It seems to be most active in the morning when I first wake up and in the evening after I eat. Danny keeps jokingly asking if it feels like a boy. To me it feels like popcorn popping, maybe I will end up giving birth to Orville Redenbacher.

Stevie's doing better. We went for a long walk this morning and she was TERRIBLE on the walk, pulling almost the whole time. But when we came back she played like a normal dog, chewed on only legal items, and is right now taking a nap. We are considering the Gentle Leader/Halti type leash for her walks, but we are not sure if she is too small still. We'll have to look into it. She is developing some very bad walking habits. She wasn't great when we first got her, but the bigger she has gotten, the worse the pulling is. It's amazing how good Jake was when I compare him as a puppy and Stevie. I do think Stevie will be a good dog, eventually, but Jake was good from Day One. He was just a much more mellow dog who wanted to please us no matter what! One day I hope to say the same thing about Stevie. She sitting here snoring away right now!
