A week of firsts...

It's hard to believe I'm 19 weeks now...one week away from the half way point!
I am so excited...I think i'm starting to feel our little sweet potato fluttering. It's so amazing! I still haven't felt any real "kicks" yet, but each time I feel a little movement it is just incredible. I can't wait until Jesse can start feeling it too.

The other first this week... a patient's mom asked if I was expecting...brave soul! I can tell people's eyes are starting to go to my belly when I first walk in the room.
The mom this week said, "are you expecting? You've always had a cute figure, and so I figured you were either expecting, or...or" How do you finish that? :)

I'm not sure when this will all start feeling real, but I'm loving it so far!
updated belly pic to come soon - baby has done some growing this week, or maybe it's my insatiable appetite for watermelon

  1. I like the name "Sweet Potato". There's another name I've used when I've prayed for this little one-"Bumper", you kmow, in honor of your baby bump. But Sweet Potato is nicer.
    You didn't finish the story...did you tell the woman you were pregnant? I pray about this-that you don't miss these little joys along the way. Your Nana said it best...there's so much to celebrate!

  2. Sweet potato is the size of the baby now :) it's getting so big!
    I did tell her I was pregnant...I have only told a few families at work so far, but once they start asking, there's no hiding it!

  3. I figured that about Sweet Potato. But Sonja and Brian called their baby Sweet Pea. I thought maybe you had an in utero name :)
