19.5 Week Bellly Pics

A few notes for Baby C...

In a little over a week we FINALLY get to find out if you are a boy or a girl. I have been dying to find out and daddy thinks it is so funny how obsessed i am!

About a week ago at 18 weeks your little flutters turned to larger kicks. I can feel you moving around as i write this and daddy felt you for the first time a week ago :) I also started taking some zofran and have been feeling much better. you certainly had mommy very sick there for the first 17 weeks!

Gwen is such a little mommy. For the past few weeks she has been concentrating on taking care of her little dolls. This morning i saw that she had covered her baby in a stroller with a small receiving blanket just like she saw some moms doing at the park yesterday. She constantly asks: "mommy, baby wear this?' and "baby play with this?". Also, she likes to say things like: "baby come soon but grow in mommy's belly". Today at lunch she was chatting with herself (cole may have been listening) and she said: "mommy's baby kicks in belly". When i read to her, Gwen often reaches over and pulls my shirt up a little so she can rub my "baby belly".

Baby C, please don't think that your big brother, Cole, does not love you. he too is excited about your arrival but he doesn't seem to have quite the understanding that Gwen does at this point
