My Birthday is in 2 days and although I am not completely thrilled to now be in the "late twenties" category (turning 27) this Birthday is very special to me. Last year at this time we knew we wanted to start a family soon and were totally ready to be parents, but were not yet stable enough in the financial world to do so. I knew the time would be coming when we could start trying, but it seemed so far away. All I wanted was to have a baby. I even had a beautiful picture of a mother and a baby on my bathroom mirror to reassure me it would happen soon. As I was blowing out my Birthday candles last year, I wished that by my next Birthday I would be pregnant. I am truly amazed by how incredibly lucky we have been that my Birthday wish came true!
I had my 23 week appointment this week! The doctor said everything is going great and we both look perfectly healthy. The baby's heartbeat was a steady 143 beats per min! Next appointment we have to do a glucose screening for gestational diabetes. This means I better cut down on my sugar habit for the next few weeks!
I have been feeling baby move like crazy! He is one active little guy! I love to feel him move, it is the best feeling ever! I pretty much feel him throughout the day now. Justin also can now feel his kicks as well! It is wonderful to share the experience of his kicks together! This week I even noticed him moving the surface of my belly! It is incredible to not only feel, but see his movements!
Lastly, we have big news! We have officially decided on baby Terminella's name! He may now be called Ethan Emanuele Terminella! We are so happy we can finally call him by his sweet name! We cannot wait to meet you baby Ethan! You are the love of our lives!
