I get weekly updates on my pregnancy letting me know what to expect that week and the coming weeks. It's always so fun to get up on Wednesday mornings and check my email to see what's in store for me. Although I've been through this once before, it's still just as exciting and fascinating to me the second go around. This week's post: "Seeing spots on your face? A line down your lower belly? Skin tags dotting your upper arms? No need to worry, these changes are normal and temporary." LOL!! Oh, the joys of pregnancy!! I cracked up reading that.
Woke up this morning and felt so refreshed, haven't felt nauseous for a few weeks now but have still been tired. I woke up feeling like a new woman today. I almost felt "not pregnant", it was kind of weird, and even mentioned so to John. I started my usual morning routine and hopped in the shower. There wasn't anything special about today's shower UNTIL I felt the baby KICK for the first time!! I have been waiting ever-so-patiently for "him" to make "his" first introduction. Adrey made his first attempt to "reach out and touch me" at 17 weeks and 1 day. Baby #2 said hello at 18 weeks on the dot. It was such a great moment. Such a happy, emotional, reassuring feeling that only mothers know and can relate to. A wonderful way to start a day. I can't wait to continue to feel "him". It's amazing how much you can love someone you've never met. I am so excited to meet this little one. It's hard to believe we're almost half way there. Time flies by so fast. I can't believe how big Adrey is getting, too. And to think he's going to be a big brother to someone is unbelievable to me because in my eyes he's still so tiny. Being a mother is the best experience in the world.
I love my life. I am so blessed.
