The first time I felt you kick:
Tuesday, March 11 at 16 weeks pregnant.
|
|
| |
It felt like:
Little ticklish flutters low in my abdomen. The kicks were pretty intermittent at first but strong and often now at 19 weeks.
|
|
| |
I felt:
Wonder at the miracle of life inside me. Surprised to feel the baby so early. The beginnings of a bond with the baby.
|
|
| |
The strangest food craving I've had is:
A nightly bowl of cereal. Carrot sticks top my list during the day.

This month's prenatal visit taught me that:
I am a wimp when it comes to all things bloody. My midwife took 5 vials of blood to run standard tests and by the third I was nauseous and unable to hear and ready to pass out. Not fun at all! But at least insurance should be coming through soon with the necessary authorizations for coverage.

| |
My hopes:
I'm still able to have a home birth in Minnesota. Moving in the last trimester does not create too much stress on my body and the baby.
|
|
| |
My fears:
Starting over in a new place with a 2 year old and newborn. Lack of daily support once we move.
