Since my last post physically there haven’t been many changes other than my gradually thickening waist line! I did go out and buy one pair of maternity jeans to have on deck just in case I woke up one day and my jeans didn’t fit! Wanted to be prepared for that moment. I am still fortunate to be wearing my regular clothes although I am sure that in the near future they will be set aside to make way for maternity apparel:) Buying maternity clothes right now is tough because I am just not pregnant enough for them now so I almost have to guess how I will be in a month or so. Plus I hate shopping! That is why I came home with just one pair of jeans. I think that today I may take the plunge and try it again.
As for Baby Fraz, she/he is the size of a turnip this week weighing in at about 5 ounces and measuring 5 inches from rump to head! Getting bigger and bigger! I actually noticed today that when I lay down flat on my back my stomach has a slight bulge that no longer disappears! Plus it is firm. Pretty exciting! I went to the doctors around week 16 and was able to record the heartbeat on a tape recorder. I will try to get it downloaded so that I can share it with you all. Not the best recording but it will do for now right? It is nice to have it though so that I can listen to the heartbeat at my leisure:) The biggest news of the week is that last Sunday I felt Baby Fraz moving for the first time!!!!!! I wasn’t sure at first if it was the baby moving, it just felt like a tingling/fluttering feeling. Then it persisted on and off throughout the day. Also each day this week I have been able to feel it again and again! Pretty exciting right? I think it will be a while before the movement is noticeable outside for Matt but I hope that it comes soon for him!
Until Next Time….
