The good and the bad

Well, we're start with the bad. So far, stretchmarks aren't really bothering me. I have a few on my right breast, and one on my tummy. The one on my tummy is between the holes of my old navel piercing. Well, last night we were lying in bed, and I'm really not sure what I did, but somehow I scratched right where my tummy stretchmark is. Total accident--I wasn't trying to scratch anything, i just accidentally brought my thumb right over that area. It really hurt, and so I grabbed it and said "Ow, ow, ow!" and Hazen asked "What did he do to you?" (referring to the baby). When I said nothing and moved my hand he said "Are you bleeding??" Looked in the mirror and the stretchmark that was once pink is now blood red. Great. At least now I know why they tell you NOT TO SCRATCH. :( Now the good--I can feel body parts!! We were watching tv yesterday and just like I always do, I had my shirt up and was rubbing my tummy. I felt this weird little lump on the right side--it was totally the baby's foot! It was soooo cool. I made Hazen feel it, and he sat there and poked at it. Ian got upset and moved away, but it was still really cool. Later on the left side, there was a large round lump--I think that was his head. :) I don't know how long I would have been able to feel these things, but I just noticed it yesterday. He has pressed his butt up several times (at least once a day) so I'm all lopsided and I end up with this big lump to the left or right of my belly button, but feeling his foot was the coolest thing. :) And Hazen is a little different than me with this whole thing. Me, I love to talk about it and share every little feeling. He's more quiet about it, so that sometimes I forget he's excited. But every once in awhile, he will say something that is so cute. The other day, we were watching one of the baby shows on discovery health (okay, I was watching it, he was on the computer) and they delivered a 27 week baby--I was 27 weeks at the time. It was so amazing because the baby looked like a baby! He was red and had some hair on him and was sooo tiny, but it was a real baby! So yesterday we were eating and Hazen just said something about how Ian looks like a real baby now. So cute. :)
