Wiggle Worm

I've been feeling Carolyn move daily for about two weeks. I'm noticing it more and more often now throughout the day, initially it was just if I was sitting very still and paying attention. She's definitely getting stronger. Adam has felt her move three times and one of those was a really hard kick! It's very exciting and a frequent reminder that she'll be here before we know it. On the airplane last week she was going to town and Adam sweetly asked her to be nice to mama. I appreciated it because if I need to go to the restroom and the plane is landing it's not a good time for soccer practice. Adam was concerned for the pressure in her ears but I think she made it through okay.

What's really crazy is this week she's 10 inches tall head to heel and 6 1/2 inches head to bottom. That seems HUGE to me. I know, I know, just wait - she'll only get bigger. I'm taking this one step at a time though so need to look ahead quite yet. My books compare her to a large banana and a cantaloupe. Either of those options seems quite unreal. I can't wait for our ultrasound next week!
