Some stats…
Weight Gain: holding strong at 10 lbs overall….I haven’t gained a thing since Week 12.
Stretch Marks: none!
Sleep: tough going for the last few weeks, but seems to have improved. I can still sleep on my back and belly, so that helps
Movement: potentially, but I haven’t felt anything that I knew was the baby, so I’m going to say not yet.
Dear Baby,
It’s hard to believe how much you’ve already grown and changed in just a few weeks! Seeing you on the ultrasound today made me cry immediately because I was so relieved you were doing okay. It’s crazy how much you’re moving around in there and that I can’t feel any of it yet! We got to see your tiny fingers and feet and even though your little face still looks like an alien, we know you’ll be adorable before long. :)
The ultrasound technician commented on your “chunky little thighs” so it looks like you might take after your Mama in that area. Your brain and heart all look perfect and we were so relieved. You weigh about 9 ounces and have a strong little heartbeat so keep up the good work! Your daddy was so cute, holding my hand during the scan so I know he was relieved as well.
Keep cooking, little bug!
Love, Your Mommy
What a miracle, a baby is. A whole new person brought into this life who is totally dependent upon its parents for care, for feeding, for learning, for moral guidance each and every day. WHEW!
ReplyDeleteKeep on trucking little Gillian! Oh, that's my latest fav!
