The next day after our appointment with Julia, mommy was sitting at my desk at work. I had just eaten breakfast and had some clementine oranges when all of the sudden, I felt a little gurgle in my stomach. It was almost like the feeling you get when you are hungry but I knew I wasn't because I had just eaten. So I finally realized it was you!! I was so excited, I couldn't stop smiling. I called daddy but he didn't answer his phone at work, so I sent him an email. He replied back and was so excited too but I think he was a little jealous because he wants to feel you move too. Hopefully he will be able to soon.
The next morning, I was at a breakfast for work and I ate breakfast and immediately could feel you move again. What an amazing feeling! I think it is the best feeling in the world, well at least until I hold you in my arms.
That was almost four weeks ago. Now I am feeling you move all day long and this past few weeks have started to be able to distinguish between you just moving and kicking. I love your little kicks because they let me know that you are growing and getting bigger every day because they keep getting stronger.
When mommy sits at work and pushes my belly up to my desk or when Gus sits on my belly, you really start to kick and you especially kick after I eat and drink anything. When daddy puts his hand or his arm on my tummy, I can feel you kick. I keep asking him if he can feel you yet but he can't. I think it will be any day now that he will be able to.
We have our target ultrasound on Monday afternoon, which is where we get to see a 4-D version of you! We are so excited and cannot wait to see you again! Hopefully you will cooperate so we can see your little face, since we haven't been able to really get a good shot of it yet. This is the ultrasound where we meet with a special lady that looks at all of your body to make sure that you are growing and developing like you should. Instead of our normal two minute ultrasound, this one will be about twenty minutes. She will look at your brain, heart, fingers, toes and all of your organs as well as hopefully show us your cute little face.
Mommy also has to take a glucose test to make sure that my blood is working correctly. I hear the drink they make you take is pretty yucky but hopefully it won't be too bad. We also get to go back and see Julia the next week, on Mommy's birthday. What a wonderful present that will be!! Any time we get to see you and hear your little heartbeat, is the best present I could ever ask for.
We are getting closer and closer to meeting you and I keep telling daddy that you will be here before we know it. May sounds far away but then when I say that it is only sixteen more weeks, I start to get really excited because that doesn't sound far away at all.
Daddy and mommy love you so much little girl and we are grateful to our Heavenly Father each and every day that he is entrusting us with the sacred responsibility of being able to be your parents. I know you will bring so much happiness and love in to our life and home, more than we can even begin to imagine.
