We have now passed the thirteenth week, amazing changes are happening with our baby. Our baby can put its thumb in its mouth like it wants to suck even though the muscles aren’t fully developed yet. Our baby will be fully formed soon and right now it even has it’s own fingerprints, even though it is the size of a peach!
For us the time is going by faster than we thought, the reality of being pregnant is sinking in and there is a mixture of excitement and anxiety. We are anxious on starting things like purchasing some large items like a stroller and car seat, and then contemplating a bit of work in the baby room. One day we are ready to start things, the next we are nervous about starting too early and wondering if we should wait a while longer. Baby names are constantly whirling around our heads non-stop, the stack of baby name books we have beside the couch probably has nothing to do with that, but we should be able to find out the sex of our baby at our next ultrasound that will take place on March 16th and that will make picking names even more exciting.
Today would be my mom’s birthday; she passed away when she was 56. She would have been so excited for Daniel and me and a day doesn’t go by that I don’t think of her and how proud she would have been to have seen my baby and take part of their lives. I know deep down she is watching our every move and I can picture her smiling at the thought of once again being a grandmother to another baby…the thing she loved being the most in life….
