#Bumpie at 17 Weeks

Hello there, baby! :)

Pregnancy Through The Eyes of My Little Darling

Dear baby,

Today, I saw a video that made me cry.  It shows a very cute cartoon image of a baby talking to her mom as she grows inside her tummy.  I imagined her to be you, and I couldn't help but shed tears of happiness. Here, let me show you. :)

There's nothing like watching my pregnancy through your eyes, darling.  I hope that like her, you are happy and comfortable inside my tummy, too. :) Ever since I've known that you're here with me, in me, there was never a day that I do not think of you.  There are moments when I would feel scared, but when I see your face in my mind's eye, I know instantly that all the pain will be worth it.  I think I understand the love of a mom now, even though I have yet to hold you in my arms.  I love you so much, my sweet little one.  My love for you grows more and more each day, as you (and I) grow bigger and bigger. :) I can't wait to meet you and make you feel this huge love, from me and your daddy.  A few months, little munchkin.  We would have to wait for just a few months more. :)

Your excited mommy, 

Munchkin's Thump-Thump-Thump! :)

Rolly and I have already 'seen' our baby's heartbeat during my very first ultrasound at 6 weeks. Like I said in a previous entry, we could not contain our happiness. :) And two Saturdays ago, at 14 weeks and 3 days to be exact, there's another first with Little Munchkin --- we actually heard the fluttering heartbeats already! :)  My OB used a fetal Doppler, a handheld ultrasound device.

Do you hear munchkin's thump thump thump?  Those sounds which I think are similar to the sound of a helicopter's rotating blades are the heartbeats!  The doctor said our baby was super malikot, s/he kept on wiggling inside, thus the interruptions in the sound. :)

Again, thank You so much Lord for taking care of our baby.  Thank You that s/he seems to be very healthy and strong.  Please continue to be with us, holding our hands, as we complete this journey. :)

Dear Little Munchkin,

How are you baby?  Today, people noticed how you're getting bigger and bigger.  Perhaps it's because of the tight shirt I'm wearing.  Or could it be the sweet corn?  Oh yes, I've been craving for Dole's sweet corn these past few weeks!  If it's not taho I'm aching for, it's definitely those mini corn cobs from 7-11.  Hehe.  

Your dad and I can't wait to see you again.  I hope the doctor orders another ultrasound scan soon. :)

I love you! 

Kisses,

Mommy
