Just when I thought this would be a boring week and nothing to report, you surprise us!

Your Mom was still very sick this week. But it has finally come to an end, thank goodness.

We had your monthly check up this week as well. I am so thankful for these visits, I think they keep me sane. Your Dad and I were worried about you this week. I wasn’t feeling the little flutters you were giving me anymore. Are you sleeping in there? Or just lazy like your Mom? But your check up went great like always. Your heartbeat stays strong at 147, which it has been pretty much this whole pregnancy. And guess what? I gained 4 pounds! I think with all of the turkey and pie we ate over the holidays, this is pretty great!

And GUESS WHAT ELSE?!

YOU KICKED!

Thank you for keeping me worried for a  few days, but the night of your appointment while laying in bed with Dad, I could feel some movement. It felt a bit different than before so I grabbed Dad’s hand and put it on my belly. Well you might be a little soccer player because you kicked Dad so hard he could feel it.I think you almost made him cry. Good Job!

Thank you for being amazing. Feeling you in there is the most amazing thing ever. Hearing your strong heartbeat melts my heart.

I had lots of cravings this week.

Fruit (as always)

Nachos

Ice Cream (so weird for me)

Lemon…ANYTHING

And veggies…lots of veggies.

And now, just days away we get to know what you are in there.

We cannot wait!
