22 Weeks - Waist - 36, Hips - 40.5, Bust 36.5
I had no idea what I would write this week, then something amazing happened! Over the weekend I went to see Tim in VA. Saturday night I had a really bad dream (actually 5:00 on Sunday morning) and I woke Tim up. Well, the baby was moving, so just as a long shot I told him, "The baby is moving a lot if you want to try to feel it" (everything I had read made me think it would be later - I think its only been 3 weeks since I could feel it and I thought it would be 4 weeks). Well, he put his hand on my belly and sure enough, he felt every movement. He said "I probably could have felt it all along and you've been hoarding it all to yourself". It was pretty cute.
So now I am traveling back and forth on the weekends. It is an 8 hour drive and exhausting, and I only have 4 evenings to get done with everything since now I don't have weekends. Which explains why I am doing this at 1 a.m.
I hope next week brings some more excitement to share - I am now getting used to being huge and just enjoying this time as much as I can!
Leslie,
ReplyDeleteOne of the most amazing experiences in my ENTIRE LIFE was last night feeling your baby. I love it so much that you share your pregnancy with me... all the cool things or strange things or painful things about it. Although two of my sisters have had children and one is now pregnant, I've never felt the squishy belly at this time, and felt the baby's body in the uterus. Sure, I've felt them kicking a little further along, but not when the belly is still squishy like that when someone is lying down. What was really cute about it is that you didn't realize it would be like that either! Guess everyone's been keeping these things a secret! I have a whole new respect and awe of pregnancy and actually this experience is helping me to be more excited about the prospect of enjoying pregnancy if and when God has that in store for me. Thank you so much for being a wonderful friend and for sharing all this with me. It has brought tears to my eyes any time I have thought about it today.
Love,
Laura
