This week has been exciting! I've been feeling Aiden's little kicks more and more strongly and I am starting to notice a pattern to them. I like to say he's practicing his karate in there :) Brandon even felt a couple of good kicks last night. The look on his face when he gets to feel a kick is priceless.
It's hard to describe the different emotions I'm experiencing. Before I've even met Aiden, I'm proud of him. All he is doing is growing, yet I can't deny this strange sense of pride in our son already. And I already feel so much love for him that I can't imagine loving him more, but I know I will. I also feel such a protectiveness of him.
This week Aiden is the size of a papaya or spaghetti squash. He is 11 inches long and weighs almost 1 pound! He is starting to look more like a newborn; he now has tiny tooth buds developing and his eyebrows and eyelids are becoming more distinct. He's also starting to develop sleep cycles and sleeps about 12-14 hours a day.
I am so looking forward to this weekend! Brandon was supposed to work, but he's using a vacation day so we can go get nursery furniture and register at Babies R Us! I am so excited because this is one of the things I've looked forward to for a long time. I can't wait to pick out cute little boy stuff and strollers and everything!
