Week 18: Hot Tub Time Machine (11)Wow. What a name for a movie, right? I mean, talk about a premise destined to make a movie of epic-ly disasterous proportions, right? Well, wrong! Ty and I both thoroughly enjoyed Hot Tub Time Machine! Granted, we went into the movie with an open mind and a silly attitude. I mean, we didn't expect Shakespeare here! And the movie adequately presented an hour of enjoyable goofiness! The 80s references were highly entertaining, and between a couple of goofy characters and fantastic one-liners... we had a fabulous night! (03/26/10, Friday, The Rave)
Week 18 was pretty low key for baby and I. Once the weather turned nice, we went on a couple long walks outside. Man, I run out of breath fast now! Especially going up hills! Did I mention that we're doing prenatal yoga, too? That's really helped me relax after a long day at work. (I guess that I'm not lying to my patients when I tell them that simple deep breathing can work miracles!) Baby started moving a little more often during Week 18. When I concentrate real hard, I can usually feel it once a day or so.

Week 19: Clash of the Titans (12)
So, does anyone else remember watching the 1980s version of this movie in Mr. Johnson's sophomore English class? I just remember giggling and giggling and giggling at the fantastic special effects. Well, this Clash of the Titans was a little more high-tech in its special effects. ( ; And while it may not have stayed true to the mythology of Perseus, Ty and I both really enjoyed the movie. The pacing of the movie was fantastic: the hour and a half flew by. And unlike other movies about Greek mythology, I was actually able to completely follow the storyline! Liam Neeson was great as the mighty Zeus. (Doesn't he play God-figures well? Although I still think that I prefer him as Aslan.) And Ralph Fiennes played a great Hades (And doesn't he play evil-characters well? Although I still think that I prefer him as Voldemort.) Anyway, I'd definitely recommend this movie to others.
Week 19 was a little busier for the little one and I. I'm pretty sure we were experiencing a growth spurt! Every day I took at least a two hour nap after work. And then I'd still sleep for a solid 8 hours! And my bump is rapidly growing, too. Dear goodness gracious, you should see my poor, mis-shapen belly button! Already, it's super shallow and stretched sideways. It's bizarre! But the biggest news of Week 19 is that our baby has finally discovered it's dancing feet. The frequency of movement appears to have exponentially increased! I now feel movement at various times throughout the day, several movements at a time. Baby's getting strong!! And, most importantly....
Ty got to feel the baby move! On Friday night, our little one was kicking up a storm, so I had Ty try to feel. Sure enough, he jerked this hand away right after I felt a kick. Ya know, I was really looking forward to seeing Ty's reaction after feeling movement for the first time..... I always imagined him looking so happy and awe-inspired. Instead, he was weirded out! First, it was "Oh. Wow. We really are gonna have a baby!" Next, it was "Ugh. As much as that weirds me out, I can't imagine what that must be like for you!" Schmuck! ( : Then last night, Ty got to feel the baby move 3 separate times. This time, he just started giggling! He said, "What's the baby doing in there? Like, karate-chopping your uterus? I mean, what's the point of all this random kicking?" Then he just continued giggling as he pictured our child fruitlessly wiggling around. Poor baby! ( :
Finally, Ty, baby, and I had a great Easter. Grandma Susan made the baby an Easter basket, filled with several baby books and a pack of white onesies. And, my mom actually got to feel the baby move, too! I also revealed the baby's gender to my side of the family. Yay!! After Grandpa Jay and Grandma Carol get the chance to find out the gender in person, I will let everyone else know, too.
Our big 20 Week Ultrasound was yesterday! But I'm gonna keep you hanging for details until next week's 20 week post..... Happy Easter!
