Feeling Our Little Cucumber Move!

Well, little one you are 15 inches long this week, and weigh 2.2 pounds. Approximately as big as a cucumber according to the handy app on my iPhone that compares you to food on a weekly basis. :) I am overjoyed to be feeling you moving around all day every day... and many times WAY into the night!! It is such a special feeling knowing that you are in there growing big and strong. Sleeping has become quite a chore already, I have a large Boppy Body pillow that Daddy and I kiddingly call the "3rd person" that shares our bed! It goes from under my head all the way down to between my knees. Grammy got it for me when we first found out I was pregnant with you. It looks like this:

This really helps alleviate some of the back pain that wakes me up at ALL hours of the night, but isn't so easy when I need to roll over or move!! I am just doing whatever it takes to make it through every night and get as much coveted sleep time in as I can! I now when you get here it won't be the back pain that's keeping me up little one!! :)

My very favorite thing lately is to share your little kicks and movements with Daddy. Every time you really get to moving I quickly get him to feel. Tears come to my eyes every time I am able to share that experience with him. I think we are both just so amazed by you. We are drinking in every moment that we get to share during this pregnancy. You are such a little miracle, and I think we are amazed each and every day that we created you! You are a blessing little Payton, and we can't wait to share our lives with you and to watch you grow into the amazing man we know you will be some day. (even though we are in no hurry!!!) :) Here is a picture I took of Daddy feeling for your sweet little movements last night:

You are just growing so fast! My uterus is already the size of a basketball! So for now there is plenty of room, but that won't last long! Your hearing is also improving this week. You can probly hear mine and Daddy's voice by now. You are also able to taste more of what I eat. You can't taste exactly what I taste...more just the flavors and spices. So hopefully you are enjoying your time in there little man, because according to my count down you have 13 weeks and 6 days left!! We love you!!!
