We have made it into the second trimester and we are both doing fine. However, I seem to get sick more now than I did in the first trimester--brushing my teeth does not seem to be a favored activity for Wookie. At the beginning of December Daddy and Mommy heard our little one's heartbeat which was music to our ears. 150 beats per minute!! Daddy's first question to the doctor was, "So, there's only one heartbeat, right?" Mommy would love to have twins, but Daddy is on the fence :)
Wookie is now as big as an avacado and his/her ear bones are developed enough to hear our voices. We spent the Christmas holiday at Granny and Papa's and Wookie enjoyed hearing their voices as well. Cousin Alex (Phil's nephew), age 13, asked if he could listen to the baby on Sunday and had a huge smile on his face when I let him put his ear up to my belly.
Speaking of the belly, Mommy now has a baby bump! Goodbye pre-maternity jeans and hello stretchy-top pants, which I actually find more comfortable anyway. My students and coworkers enjoy coming up and commenting on the baby belly :)
In exactly one month, on January 26th, Mommy and Daddy will find out if our Wookie is going to be Michael Phillip or Charlotte Jean!!! We can't wait to find out. Keep your eyes peeled for the news--we will be proudly posting our little one's identity at the end of January.
