15 Weeks!

Hi Baby!!

We made it to 15 weeks today and the most amazing thing happened yesterday. I really think I felt you move! It was surreal. I really didn't feel good when I got home from work so I laid down for a little bit. Once I started feeling better and was almost asleep, I felt the tiniest movement right below my belly button. It felt like bubbles popping or butterfly wings. It lasted for just a minute and left me wanting more. Your daddy came in and saw my eyes big as saucers and I told him what happened. He was thrilled... and a little jealous - I think.

You are growing so much! I feel your presence when I bend over or lean on the counter. The hair on your head is growing and getting its color! I wonder if you will be dark headed like mommy or cotton headed like daddy when he was a baby. You are the size of a navel orange and 2.5 ounces.

I am still not feeling well today. My throat and ears started hurting and my sinuses are very congested. My heart has been racing all day. I had my mom check my blood pressure and it was normal but my pulse was 90 just sitting there doing nothing. I am going to the doctor in the morning just to be safe. I wouldn't usually go right away but I seem to take better care of myself now that you are part of me. Time for some rest...

Love you,
Mom
