Butterflies or Gas???

LOL! A funny title for a post- i know. Well i am beginning to feel this little one move now. The baby is approximately 6 inches long and is really quite active! I cannot tell whether it feels like butterflies or like gas :) I guess at times it feels like both. I do get this butterfly feeling in my tummy (which i'm sure is a little bit of baby mixed with my own excitement) and then i feel like i have gas bubbles moving around in there.?>?>?>? Supposedly in the next 2 weeks my baby will double in size and weight! so by the first week of August i will be feeling this little one like crazy. (i can hardly wait).
a visit to the hospital... don't worry, i'm ok!
so i'm not sure how many of you knew this.. but i passed out at a grocery store this Saturday afternoon. Scary, yes, but i'm ok. apparently i am not drinking enough fluid and i'm not eating enough food. i was completely dehydrated and my baby was starving... the hospital gave me 2 0r 3 liters of fluid and made me eat before i left. i guess i'm supposed to be eating an extra 500 calories per day. i am beginning my 5th month in 2 weeks and i have only gained 2 pounds. i know it looks like i have gained more, but the OB's scale does not lie! trust me on this one! Needless to say, i was feeling much better after the 3 liters and 4 protein bars. they sent me home and i had hot dogs and chili :)

(my loving husband took this picture when i wasn't looking... i had a few words to say about that.. if you have ever been with me in a hospital, you know how i get... newayz.. i thought it would make really good BLOG DRAMA)

Yes, i'm still eating hot dogs.... (like crazy), but don't ask my sister, because she just over exaggerates everything!!!
