Enjoy each day

Hello sweet friends and family. Good news to report: everything is going very smoothly. If growing is wrong, than I don't want to be right, because I am getting bigger. This weekend I got my first unthoughtful comment regarding my weight gain (in my midsection) from a neighbor (we never really liked). So just for the record to all of you out there and to my rude neighbor, "I am only having one baby, not two." I take it all with a grain of salt and as my friend Julie says, just laugh it off. I know that inconsiderate comments will continue and it doesn't bother me at all because I have a baby growing inside of me, a precious human life, so thankfully that takes precedence over all.

He got the hiccoughs for the first (and second) time this weekend. So precious. Because I am a giver of love, I only wish I could share with you this overwhelming feeling of joy and anticipation. All of you mothers reading this know what I mean. This is such a special experience I will only have once in my life (one first time that is).

More news on him: He is roughly the length of an ear of corn, weighs over a pound, and his lungs and taste buds are developing this week. My uterus is the size of a soccer ball now. Although he is over a foot long he is very lean so he has lots of room to twist and roll and kick. I like to picture him dancing in there. It feels like he's got moves! Maybe he gets that from his Aunt Tracy.

I have a check up this week, so if there is any news to share I will. Otherwise, I hope this message finds you well. Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts... Love.
