Into our 16th week now, and things are going very well. We saw our midwives last Monday and all was good. The belly is the right size for 16 weeks! Joy is very glad that all the nausea and general “yuk” of the first trimester are done with, and she has been feeling much better for a while now.
Last weekend she felt this little one move, as she puts it “I felt a little fluttery movement”. The next day I put my hand one her belly as she noted that she could feel something moving again. I did feel movement, we both looked at each other with a “that could be a the little one, or something else”. Its so exciting to be even entertain the notion that we felt our child move for the first time. With more time the movements i am sure will get more pronounced. We have been having a lot of fun coming up with names, we have settled on none yet, and i am sure we will come to a great set of names by the time the the little one arrives.
In the next few weeks we will have one more ultrasound to check out that all is going well. We have chosen to not find out the gender of the itty bit till he/she joins us out here.
All is very exciting, and it seems that each week is passing with extraordinary speed! very soon we will have a new video camera, will post a video once i get it all put together.
