Dear Baby Thompson,
You are just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a lime and are almost fully formed. Your hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under your gums, and some of your bones are beginning to harden.
You are already busy kicking and stretching, and your tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as your body grows and becomes more developed and functional. They say your Mommy won't feel your acrobatics for another month or two — nor will she notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that your diaphragm is forming...But she thinks she has been feeling tiny pops of movement for about the last week and half!!!!!. She definitely knows you are active because you constantly move away from Doppler every time she catches your heartbeat....she even hears you kick the Doppler! What a beautiful sound!!!
Mommy is starting to feel better, but still throws up every now and then! It has been two whole weeks with no spotting!!!!! The next OB appointment is February 9th. Hopefully she gets the green light to go back to work. Being on modified bedrest makes the days pass slower, makes her feel more fatigued and gives her more migraines than normal.
In 2 1/2 weeks, we will get to see you again for the gender ultrasound! Technology is grand! I am still predicting you are a little girl since your heart beat is around 180! Time will tell!
Love you, MiMi
