Week 18

Nothing really new happened this week.  I had my first experience in actually feeling where Gumball is in my tummy.  I must have been sleeping on my side (a little towards my stomach) and when I woke up and turned onto my back I could feel GB on my right side.  Not sure, but seemed like the head was at the top.  It was weird and amazing at the same time.  My left side was totally "cushy" and the right was hard.  Pretty cool.

GB is the size of a sweet potato this week.  So needless to say, we've been to two grocery stores already and I feel the need to point this out to Mike at each visit.  I'm such a sucker.

Week 17

I had my 16 week appointment earlier this week. Everything looked good. I was able to hear Gumball's heartbeat which was at a steady 143 beats/minute. I think I feel movement every once in a while, but not 100% sure. But...I am finally sporting a mini bump! Not sure why it excites me so much, but it does. Probably just finally seeing the little guy/gal start growing is what makes me so giddy about it.
