On April 27th, Deven got to feel Madison move and kick for the very 1st time! I had been feeling her move for weeks but her kicks weren't strong enough for Deven to feel, but the day finally came and he was so excited!! I've asked Deven several times how he felt at that moment and he always says the same thing... "I can't put into words the emotion I'm feeling"
Even though he can't put his feelings into words, his actions and concern for me and the baby say it all. He holds my belly every night until he can feel her moving... and everytime we speak on the phone he asks the same 2 questions:
1) How's my baby girl?
2) Is she moving yet?
It's so cute how excited he is!
Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, speaking of the diaper situation... baby's genitals are now fully formed!
Our baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. She's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the size of a canteloupe. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against her torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of her head to her bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, she's measured from head to toe.)
Our next Dr. appt is Friday, where we'll be going over all important details from our ultrasound. We are officially half way through the pregnancy and we are so excited to be one week closer to meeting our little girl!
