Five Months Along...

I felt I needed to update you all on Charlie's progress. We've had a couple "check-up" visits since finding out she is PERFECT and I've taken Sophie along so she could experience the journey as well. Charlie's growing right on schedule [from belly measurements] and her heart-rate is a steady 145bpm. Sophie got to hear the heartbeat the last couple times and her eyes just light up. "Charee's in there??"

Her ears are fully developed by this point so Sophie reads to her all the time, even showing her the pictures. She kicks and punches all day long so I set out to make things more "real" for big sister and caught her when she was full of action. Sophie put her hand on my belly and not seconds later she kicked her hand. Needless to say, Sophie was amazed! She's a very proud big sister and can't understand why Charlie won't come out?!?!?! She wants to be the first to hold Charlie and promises to rock, feed and hug her.

If only Charlie knew how much she was loved already.

Hope everyone is doing well. Have a great weekend!

Love, love, love.
