Well we made the long ride up to New Hampshire this past week from Georgia. My amazing husband drove 20 hours...and thankfully the road adds many hours of countless laughs and entertainment, but also comes with leg cramps, back pain and crazy people.
It is so good to be back with family and friends, especially with the reality of this baby coming in a few months becoming more real with every small movement that is becoming more consistant. I'm winding down week 17 and entering into my 18th week. Baby is now 5 inches long and wieghing in at a few oz. But it is making it's presence known! I love that i can feel the movement...and David felt baby move for the first time on Friday morning. We were just laying in bed talking and i felt the familiar movemnt, i took his hand and put it on my lower stomach and told him to hold it there. A few seconds later there was a kick or bump...i looked over and his eyes were so wide. He had felt the movement...it was the coolest thing we have ever gotten to share together. And last night as we were laying watching t.v before bed baby started it's crazy little routine of bumps and kicks, and i had David hold his hand again on my stomach, and this time he felt a few of the movements. I just couldn't believe this was our baby, moving around stretching and kicking and flipping. It makes my heart smile so big when i see David smile when he feels the baby and how excited he gets about the baby growing and coming to be with us.
I have finally found a Dr. here and will be going next wednesday. Praying it won't be long after that when we find out what our little one is.
well this was a short update i will have more for you in the week to come!
