Since my last post physically there haven’t been many changes other than my gradually thickening waist line! I did go out and buy one pair of maternity jeans to have on deck just in case I woke up one day and my jeans didn’t fit! Wanted to be prepared for that moment. I am still fortunate to be wearing my regular clothes although I am sure that in the near future they will be set aside to make way for maternity apparel:) Buying maternity clothes right now is tough because I am just not pregnant enough for them now so I almost have to guess how I will be in a month or so. Plus I hate shopping! That is why I came home with just one pair of jeans. I think that today I may take the plunge and try it again.
As for Baby Fraz, she/he is the size of a turnip this week weighing in at about 5 ounces and measuring 5 inches from rump to head! Getting bigger and bigger! I actually noticed today that when I lay down flat on my back my stomach has a slight bulge that no longer disappears! Plus it is firm. Pretty exciting! I went to the doctors around week 16 and was able to record the heartbeat on a tape recorder. I will try to get it downloaded so that I can share it with you all. Not the best recording but it will do for now right? It is nice to have it though so that I can listen to the heartbeat at my leisure:) The biggest news of the week is that last Sunday I felt Baby Fraz moving for the first time!!!!!! I wasn’t sure at first if it was the baby moving, it just felt like a tingling/fluttering feeling. Then it persisted on and off throughout the day. Also each day this week I have been able to feel it again and again! Pretty exciting right? I think it will be a while before the movement is noticeable outside for Matt but I hope that it comes soon for him!
Until Next Time….

You must have been so excited to feel the baby move!!! It seems like they have their own little independence when they start kicking inside the Mom!
It was incredible! Can’t wait to feel it more and more!
