This past Thursday we were able to have another ultrasound, to check on baby boy Funk, and everything looks perfect, Praise God for that! He weighed 1 pound 5 oz at that time, which was 22 weeks 5 days. He has been moving around so much more and his kicks are getting so strong now. You can actually see my belly move on the outside when he kicks. All 6 of the kiddos have felt him kicking, which has been really special. They all love to feel him move and ask if he is kicking and if they can feel. Navae is always kissing my belly and tells everyone, that when he comes out only SHE gets to hold him... NO ON ELSE. We will have to work on that one ;)
When Nesha felt the baby moving for the first time, she asked me if he was trying to get out of my tummy. When he kicked really hard, she jumped and said " OH Mom, he's gonna get out of there, I know it!" So cute to see the shock and surprise that a little baby inside my belly can kick her hand so hard!
I'm so very thankful for every kick and sharing these moments with our other kids! They are loving following along in the pregnancy week by week books to see how big the baby is and what he is developing that week. Every Saturday Xander tells me what week we have completed and what week we are entering. Its a super special thing to be sharing with them! Our baby is loved so very much already, not just by us, but by all 6 of his siblings! I am thankful every day for this blessing!!
I love your updates and soo exciting to be having a litlte boy !
ReplyDeleteWe are pregnant with #6 and like you our other kids are SOOO in love with their sibling already even though we still have months to go... they like you talk about the baby all the time and we find its soo special to be going through this pregnancy all together as a family even if most people can't understand why we would want a large family.... its amazing to watch siblings together huh ? We have decided to wait to find out the sexe when the baby is born.... our kids can't wait to see what it will be.... as you know the last 3 were boys so we think its another boy but our girls would love a girl as well so only time will tell...
Looking forward to seeing your newest addtion !
