Is that you Peanut?

The past few days I’ve been feeling more of these bubbles popping in my lower abdomen. It happens a lot in the morning when I’m sitting at my desk at work. At first I didn’t think anything of it and didn’t want to read too much into it. But I’m beginning to think that maybe just maybe it is Peanut moving in there. I got a few of them that were stronger yesterday and I took some time to just feel what was going on. I must say I had a smile on my face sitting at my desk. It’s a big change from so many days sitting here with tears in my eyes.

We listened to Peanut’s heartbeat last night. It was around 150bpm again. Hearing it once a week brings me comfort (and I think it brings my husband comfort as well). I can’t wait until the movement is more substantial so I know that he/she is ok in there.

Sunday will mark 18 weeks. Time is starting to go by really fast. It’s hard to believe we are half way there. It still amazes me that we’ve made it this far and for that I’m forever grateful. So many days I had doubts. I know that Nathaniel and Grace are watching over Peanut right now. They are Peanut’s special guardian angels. I know they are watching over my husband and I too as we continue on this journey that can be difficult at times.

Hope you all have a nice weekend. We are headed to Plymouth NH for some family reunions on my husband’s side. It should be a good time and nice to get away for a while. I haven’t seen his dad and step mom since Thanksgiving so this trip is long overdue.
