Dear New Baby Girl: Part Ten (and apple picking)

September 29, 2016

Dear Baby Girl

The ultrasound tech told us we'd probably be able to feel you more than we did Julie. My placenta is in the back and Julie was on top. Either is normal (good!) but when the placenta is in the back, there's more room for baby to be felt in front. I've been feeling you for weeks since I knew what it was this time. Outside and inside (especially) but some days, you are like a crazy person in there. Yesterday especially, you just couldn't quit! It's kind of neat but then I worry about when you are bigger than you are and whether or not it will hurt. I guess you won't have as much wiggle room by then but we'll see!

^21 weeks
Last night, I had Daddy come over and try to feel you kick. Julie would ALWAYS stop when he would try to feel her kicking. It took weeks but he got to feel you kick last night at 22 weeks! Like I said, you were going crazy all day but you usually seem the most active and strong in the evenings, so he got a chance to feel the kicks and you didn't disappoint! Very cool!

^22 weeks
I was just reading old posts from my last pregnancy and how I felt so fat. I'm at that same stage at about the same time so hopefully that'll at least kind of go away a bit soon. It does depend on what you are wearing. Regular t-shirts make me feel crummy but putting some thought into it makes it better.

This past weekend, we made a family trip to the apple orchard with the Ronas's. It was pretty fun. I was going to bring my big camera but decided not too. Still got a few cute photos with my phone so I'll share those. Julie has fun with Allie, and everyone came over for dinner after so that was fun. Her little sister will be just a couple months older than you so if they are able to stick around a few years, you guys will hopefully get to be friends!
