I feel the earth move ...

While I was sitting in church Sunday during Erika's confirmation I began to feel the fluttering movements of our baby for the first time. I've felt it a few times since then but I never seem to be sitting still and quiet enough for very long.

It was a little surreal. I'm watching my child, who is 14, getting confirmed before the church while my baby was wiggling inside. While it was Erika's big day, her little brother/sister was making his/her presence known. Maybe that's a sign of things to come. I have another little drama queen on the way. Yikes.

I'm now at 15 weeks pregnant. The baby is the size of an apple. Speaking of babies, my coworker and his wife found out they're having one baby for sure - they got to see the heartbeat at their appointment on Monday - but there was another sack there that may or may not contain another baby. Doctor said it's probably a single baby but they'll know for sure at their next appointment in a couple of weeks. They are due Dec. 23 so I'm sure our maternity/paternity leaves will overlap.

Babies everywhere!

I'm the mom of two sons, 27 and 25, and a son, 12. Having them spaced that way is such a blessing! The connection between the olders and the younger is something to behold. Wishing you all the best with your new addition!
