Lots of exciting things going on this week! It’s been awhile since I’ve had a chance to update this blog, school has been busy! I love my class, but all of the paperwork and other requirements of the job are taxing!
Let me catch everyone up on the happenings since my last post! We’ve had a lot of firsts! 🙂
I started really noticing my belly growing and bulging out of my old pants, so my mom took me for my first shopping trip to the maternity store. Boy was I in heaven!! No more belly bands and stretchy waisted pants are the best! I left wondering why I had to wait until I was pregnant to discover these pants! 😉
Travis and I had an ultrasound at 12 weeks, but it seemed like forever since I’d been to the doctor or heard the heartbeat! I couldn’t feel the baby move yet, so naturally I was anxious to hear all was well! I went to the doctor yesterday and heard our baby’s heartbeat again and it was 164bpm. After that, I made another shopping trip to Motherhood Maternity to buy another pair of comfy jeans to wear to work the next day.
Last night I was up and down and couldn’t sleep. At about 5, I got up to use the restroom and then as I got back in bed, I heard Travis was up. As soon as I got comfortable…. I felt the baby move!!! It was unmistakably the baby and no other stomach rumblings! It almost felt like the soft bristles of a paintbrush tickling the inside of my belly. I gasped and told Travis “I just felt the baby move!!” Travis was so jealous that he couldn’t feel it. He put his hand on my belly to see what he could feel, but couldn’t feel anything yet. I can’t wait until he can feel it too. (I also felt it once at school today when I was sitting at my computer working on plans.) So exciting!!
I’ll be 16 weeks tomorrow, and can’t wait for many more new experiences! 🙂
