I felt my little one MOVE! I've been waiting for this for about 12 weeks, so as soon as I got that positive test I've been waiting. Sometimes I would just sit there and focus really really hard on my uterus just waiting for something, and nothing would happen.
Sunday I was feeling super mopey and pathetic because it was Easter and we didn't have any plans and I was sad about it. Zach had to do homework so I had to entertain myself. I was being a real stick-in-the-mud so I was laying on the floor under the table like the way I used to do when I was a kid. I have no idea what inspired me to do so, but it just felt right I guess. As I was laying there I felt like someone was gently prodding me. It was in the right place that the baby would be so I just laid there for a little longer. Sure enough I felt Sprout poking me in the same spot. It wasn't one of those jump up and down moments because I was afraid that it wasn't Sprout. It was so subtle, but I felt it later on in the day too, and now I am sure that Sprout was definitely poking me.
It is delightful to feel my little one rolling around. It makes me really excited for Zach to be able to feel Sprout move too. I am really starting to enjoy pregnancy instead of always wishing I was further along than I am. People who know I am pregnant are starting to notice my bump. I feel HUGE for only being 16 weeks. I'm starting to get paranoid that there are two in there. We haven't had an ultrasound yet, so there is no way of knowing for sure. I'm pretty sure every pregnant woman wonders this before they find out for sure, but man, I feel HUGE. And I'm only going to get bigger... much bigger. Sprout is going to be a big baby. I'm ok with that, the more rolls the merrier. Just as long as he/she's got that butt chin!
I've had a lot of indigestion this week. It hurts and it makes me uncomfortable, but I realize it's all apart of the process. It seems like most of my symptoms only last a few weeks (except for my boobs, those will hurt for forever I've realized.) My tummy is itchy, and thanks to you great fb friends, I started using Virgin Coconut Oil on the bump, and it helps a lot. It isn't oily and sticky like I thought it would be either! I have had terrible shortness of breath from Sprout's need for more oxygen, and my nose is still stuffy so I feel like day one of biggest loser pretty much every day. Like I've said before, isn't pregnancy so cute?
Is it too early to say I can't wait for this baby to come? I feel so much love for this little one and I can't even hold it yet. I just want to smother my little Sprout in kisses and tell him/her how much I love it. I can feel myself turning into a mommy, and I love it. October seems so far away right now!
Our happy family
