I have been waiting for these kicks for a while now! I have friends who say they felt their babies early and late, but right around 21 weeks I started feeling tiny little kicks. I felt some fluttering around the 20 week mark, but no actual kicks. Well,...this week he's running a marathon in there. I can actually see my stomach jump a tiny bit in places where I feel the kicking. He's extremely active, which I guess I am thankful for! I may not be so thankful when I'm 30 weeks and trying to sleep:). But for now at least, it's the most precious feeling in the world.
The baby this week is around 11 inches long and weights right at a pound. We've come a long way! I can't imagine him being so big...but of course, we have a while to go. It is deathly hot in Atlanta, but I'm not yet obscenely uncomfortable. Luckily I'm not huge yet. My belly is growing a little more each week (or my husband would say each DAY!). Taylor is still a bit weirded out by how hard the belly is. I keep reminding him there's a baby in there. He got to feel the kicks a few nights ago and hear the heart beat on the prenatal heartbeat listener. He is still getting onto me about all the baby clothes I'm already getting! Baby Boy Lutz will be well dressed!:) My mom is already addicted to buying baby clothes with Ella, so now she just has to venture to the baby boy side too! It's just too fun to buy those sweet little clothes.
Everything seems to be going quite well with the pregnancy! We are thankful he's healthy and growing on schedule. My next appointment is July 9th - the glucose screening. I have no idea what this means, but I'll let you know the results! Hopefully I will get some more belly pics up before then to show the progress!
