Future Soccer Player?

About 2 weeks ago I felt what I thought was Harper kicking for the first time. It sort of felt like a muscle twitch or something though, so I wasn't sure! But it continued over the next couple days so I decided it must be her. Now she kicks me allllll the time. Probably every couple hours I feel her kicking, and I can feel her turn over or something (it's a very weird feeling!) every once in a while. I kept trying to tell Forrest whenever I'd feel her kicking, but she tended to just kick once or twice, and by the time he was able to get over there, she'd quit. Well two night ago, Forrest and I were saying a prayer before bedtime and during the prayer I felt her kick. I didn't want to interrupt Forrest, so as soon as he was done I told him she was kicking. Then about a minute later she kicked me about as hard as she ever has! We both jumped! haha :) Then she kicked a few more times, but I'm not sure he could really feel them. It was really a sweet moment!

Here are a few ultrasound pictures from 15 weeks. I get another one next Tuesday (20 weeks) so I should have another one or two to post then :)

On another note, I've been feeling better lately. Not great all the time, but the nausea seems to be subsiding. I went about 2 weeks without really having any, but I've had a little bout with it this morning. Lately, it seems more like it's that my stomach didn't approve of what I ate as opposed to just being nauseated for no good reason. Hopefully the end is in sight with the halway mark just being a few days away!
