I look at my reflection in the mirror and think it's so hard to believe there's this little baby in there, I have definitely gotten bigger bump wise but am still quite neat. It's the ultrasounds and feeling baby move that confirm what's really going on inside, at this point I have felt a sort of shifting and the occasional pop or bubble but no strong kicks as yet. They say for a first pregnancy weeks 20-24 are when the first movements can be felt, I'm looking forward to that. Every day is a progression and brings subtle changes. I worked out that I have four months left of work before I go on maternity leave, that's not very long at all. Before we know it our baby will be here and our lives will change, we will be learning so many new things & finding our own feet as to how we raise our child.
Today is my birthday, another year older & being 19 weeks pregnant makes it all the more special. Paul made me ham & cheese croissants & coffee this morning and gave me a beautiful bunch of pink roses. I couldn't have asked for a nicer day spent with my gorgeous thoughtful man soaking up the sunshine.
