Halfway there…

Spring is here, somehow it’s early March and the sun is shining and buds are waiting patiently to burst. Somehow those horrible three months that they call the first trimester finally came to an end and then another two months or so rapidly past and here I am now – halfway there… 20 weeks down and 20 more to go until we can meet our little one. And it’s really starting to skink in now! I have started to feel the movement inside my belly now which is both a surreal and fantastic feeling. When I go to bed in the evening I can feel the baby doing the same… moving around trying to find a good position for the night – and it always makes me smile! And since it can already hear our voices N makes sure to put his face close to my stomach and speak to it in spanish to say goodnight as well. On Monday this week we had our 20 week ultrasound and it was such an awesome experience. To see its little hands kind of waving to us (at least that’s what we’d like to think it was doing!) while sitting very yogi-like in the lotus position. That, if something made it feel like wow… this is really happening! It really is an incredible journey.
