KICK to the ribs!!!!

So here I am thinking I have a dainty little lady in my belly, lol.  Yeah right.  I'm sitting on the couch talking to my brother & BAM...she kicks me right in the ribs, lol.  I can't say that it hurt, but it definitely tickled.  It's only happened once, so I'm assuming that I said something she wasn't happy about, lol.  Wish I knew what that was.  She's become so busy, I love it.  She's not a big kicker, but she wiggles & moves a lot.  It's the most amazing thing.  I can not even describe the feeling, but it feels great.  I love knowing that she's moving around/comfy in there.  Every now & then I will get to feel kick from the outside, but it's rare.  I love it!!!  Although I'm sure as she gets bigger her kicks will be stronger & I may not be so excited then, lol. 

1st baby purchase

OK, so my family is very super stitious (sp?).  They do not believe the mother should be making purchases while she is pregnant.  I don't believe in it, but I'm trying to go along w/this.  Its very hard and today I caved.  Probably the one of the only purchases I'll make bc my family will have a fit, lol.  The other thing I'll get is her outfit for her newborn pics.  Anywho, my first little purchase is babylegs!!!  I'm so excited.  I know it's not much but I'm excited to be able to get her something.  I've already started recieving gifts so it's making her arrival super real, but it felt great to be able to get something for her myself.  I've always wanted the babylegs, but I didn't want to pay $12 a pair.  Thanks to a poster on thebump.com I found out about the big sale, soooo I got her a few pairs.  Hopefully some other colors will go on sale soon.  But until then, these are the ones I got for her.  Also 4 cute pairs of socks.  I so love all these cute girly things!!!

I do not want to complain but...

The back pain I am experiencing today is too much.  1st Monday it seemed that I was getting a cold, but I'm guessing I was just feeling crappy for a day.  Then yesterday afternoon my back started to hurt.  It continued through the night & by the time I woke up this morning, it had decided it is in charge today.  Sitting at my desk is becoming unbearable.  I'm hurting & I don't want to take any pain medication (I'm afraid of the effects on Suri, even though I was told I could take a tylenol).  I'm trying to make sure my posture is good & I have a pillow in my desk chair behind my back, but it's so not working.  I just want to go lay down & sleep.  Or at least attempt, bc I just toss/turn all night.  UGH....if I'm feeling like this at 21wks, what will I feel like at 30wks?  OMG, I shouldn't think about things like that.  Hoping this pain goes away.

On a happy note, I am 21wks today!!! YAY!!!  It does feel good to be farther along than the number of weeks I have left.  Only 19wks to go if Suri decides to show on time.  But from my experience, she is as stubborn as her parents, so this will definitely be interesting.....
