I am fifteen weeks pregnant today. I am feeling a lot better than I did when I last posted. My nausea is, for the most part, gone, though I am quick to gag when I smell eggs cooking. And your sister eats a lot of eggs. I am still tired, but I am able to nap most days and that helps a lot. But my energy level is somewhat restored and I am grateful for that. Today has been a sleepy day, but it was a busy weekend. We went to Indianapolis to celebrate my friend Marta's little boy's first birthday, and with all the activity and discomfort of sleeping in a new place, I don't think it's too unusual to be sleepy today.
So, I have already started to feel you moving! I didn't expect it so early, but I am pretty confident I felt you for the first time almost two weeks ago. Now I am definitely feeling you fluttering around every few days and it's just the best. Right now it's still so light that I still usually question it, but sometimes when I lay down to sleep at night, I feel you right away, wiggling around. Once you start getting bigger and really letting me have it -- well, I love that. Feeling you move and being able to eat whatever I want are definitely the best parts about being pregnant!
I went to the doctor last week and was able to hear your heartbeat for the first time, too! 155 beats per minute, which still makes me think you are a girl. Are you going to be a happy surprise at the ultrasound in five weeks or just proving your mommy's intuition correct? It doesn't matter either way... we are just so excited to have you coming in to complete our family.
Love,
Mommy
