This week was another monumental one! Daddy Josh got to feel Ellie kicking! It was by far the most amazing moment! Seeing the look in his eye when he finally felt her was so emotional! Up until now, it's kind of just been me and Ellie...Josh, obviously, isn't the one that is going through the morning sickness, the leg pains, and the growing belly. Now he feels more "a part" of the pregnancy and it has begun to feel very real for both of us!!! We cannot wait to meet her!
I've also started experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions. I get one or 2 an hour at nighttime. My stomach gets really hard in places, then relaxes again. I was reading my weekly updates and it described what BH contractions were and that I might be feeling them! I knew that's what's been happening!
Baby Ellie is now about 10.5 inches long and weighs about 12.2 ounces. She's as long as a banana this week. I have been feeling LOTS of movement! Before, I would feel "flutters", occasionally. Now it is definite kicks, that feel like I'm being flicked from the inside. An indescribable feeling! She also, now, has her lifetime supply of eggs in her womb! Haha...hard to think about her being the size of a banana and having a womb with eggs! :)
I'm still feeling great. Absolutely loving being pregnant, but also anxious for it to be over so she can be here!
