I can't believe how often it seems I am writing these weekly updates. I am so grateful that it feels we are moving through this pregnancy at a fast pace. This next week will put us at 1/2 way there!
The biggest thing to report is that my stomach has grown! Just wait until I post the weekly picture so you can see the change! I've had a lot of people tell me this week that they can really tell now that there is a baby in there.
I have felt great this week aside from a couple of nights of leg cramps. NOT FUN! Ask Jose sometime what it is like to have his wife sit up straight in bed and start yelling, "It hurts! It hurts! Ow Ow OWWW!" He now knows that is code for "I have a leg cramp" but the first time it happened I think it shook him up a bit.
Also happening this week, for the first time after dinner my stomach felt sooo big and up under my ribs. I could not sit up straight, and my stomach felt so tight. I got this moment of realization that this is just the beginning. It will only be getting bigger, tighter, and much more uncomfortable. That made me a little nervous.
Monday is our next doctors visit. I'm not entirely pleased with our doctor, so on Monday we are also having a consultation with the midwives and I'm really excited about that. Hopefully it will be confirmation that we should switch doctors (who am I kidding, I've already made my decision).
I still feel light little flutters from Aubriella moving. I was hoping they would start happening more frequently and stronger, but I'm patient waiting for our little girl to grow. I hear that after awhile the kicks and punches get uncomfortable, so I should be grateful for the light taps for now.

This is the best part of pregnancy! I'm so excited for you guys. Little girls are so much fun. We'd love to hang out with you guys sometime soon. I can't wait to get my hands on the belly!

i'm glad you are looking around a little more to find someone you are 100% happy with. I hope the meet and greet goes well and that you two make a decision you are happy with, no matter who you decide on.
Oh my goodness. This is the cutest picture of you Marlene. You look darling pregnant. WHOOHOO! It's a girl!
