I have two wonderful developments in this bizarre journey of pregnancy…
At week 20, I am pleased to announcement that I am now feeling the baby move! Yep. Kicks, flutters, rolls, and little taps have been going on for the past 2 weeks (since Week 18).
The second is that we have found out that we’re going to have a little baby girl! We went in for our ultrasound appointment on Monday the 18th and got to see her little head and hands waving around, and tiny foot, and clear evidence of her femininity. So, onwards towards frills and lace and all those kinds of fun things! As for names… that’ll be a bit of a challenge, but I’m sure we’ll find the right one.
As for me… the pants are getting tighter, and the belly is starting to show a little bit, but not enough so’d you’d notice. And I think I’m ok with that – it sure beats having it in the way! I’m still peeing every hour on the hour, but other than that, all systems are A-ok. The new job is going well, I actually have energy at the end of the day and the 10 minute commute is more amazing than I can say! Life is so good at the moment, I can not help but feel like I am one of the most blessed women on earth.
Oh Marie, I hadn’t a clue that you had all of this set up. I’ve just spent the last ten minutes reading through all your updates. Rachel is here with me asking all kinds of questions about pregnancy and bellies ha!!!
What are are chances of you coming home with Dermot? C’mon …
I can’t believe that you’re 20 weeks already, the time is just flying and I sooooooo want to see you face to face before you give birth. I want to meet my neice
