A Perfect Day!

Yesterday was one of those "big" days in the 9 or so months that you are pregnant. First, we had a 23 week check up with our perinatal doctor, Dr. Korotkin. The ultrasound lasted about an hour, because Jackson was moving around so much. They had to get some clear pictures of his heart, since they didn't get them the last time, so they had to wait for the wiggle worm to stop wiggling so much! Hey, long appointments don't bother me at all - That's more time I get to see him! This time it was really cool because some of the movement that we saw on the screen, I could actually feel! Dr. Korotkin's exact words to us were that Jack is perfect! He weighs 1lb 10 oz right now, which is wonderful news (that's almost a 1lb up from last month)! Honestly, I really didn't think yesterday could get any better.

Until, that is, we were lying in bed last night and Jackson was kicking up a storm, so I had Chris place his hand on my belly to see if he could feel it. I was incredibly still and it took a minute or two for him to kick again, but then he did and Chris said, "Oh! I felt that!" I was so happy! That moment is one that I'll always have etched in my head. The look on Chris's face was so fantastic - it was the first time he felt his son. :)
