What a difference two weeks can make….

It seems as though a lot has changed in the last two weeks!  Shortly after my last blog entry Matt was able to feel Baby Fraz moving for the first time.  The movements initially were few and far between and now they are getting stronger and more frequent every day!  Today Baby Fraz moved more than ever!  I feel like it’s his/her way of letting me know he/she is there.  If I try to bend over too far it almost seems like he/she goes nuts and says, “hey mom you’re squashing me!!!”  It’s also really fun to be able to share the movement with family and friends.  Last week Pop and Gigi (Tim and Margaret) were able to feel the baby move for the first time.  It seems as though Baby Fraz is enjoying going over to see Pop and Gigi because everytime we are there, he/she seems to “put on a clinic” and moves around a lot.   

Baby Fraz is growing rapidly!  I now officially feel pregnant!  There is no denying it!  In the past week especially, my stomach has “popped” out and maternity shirts are starting to fit much better.  Just today, I put on a shirt that last week seemed too big!  Also I have noticed that the way people look at me has already changed.  Instead of greeting me by looking me straight in the eye, they greet me by staring at my stomach then glancing at my face!  People are also now alerting ME that I have popped and look pregnant.  Phew!  Glad they can keep me posted on the changes going on in my body!  Ha ha!  Also my stomach has officially become public property.  People always talked about it happening and the time is here.  It’s like my belly has a hand magnet inside of it because everyone is touching it!  All kidding aside, my favorite part about all of the changes is the increase in movement from Baby Fraz throughout the day.  It serves as a constant reminder of the miracle inside of me and helps me focus on the positive things going on in life.  Baby Fraz has a way of making a stressful day much better.  I have also thought a lot about what it will be like to meet Baby Fraz and I just can’t wait! 

Oh and before I forget, Baby Fraz is about the size of a spaghetti squash, weighing in at about a pound.  They say that the baby looks more like an “immature infant.”  It’s pretty amazing.  So without further ado, here’s the belly shot!!!

Until next time…
