Baby Bump: Week 16!

The halfway point is in sight! (So close!)
Lately I've been feeling kicks quite a bit! I wasn't sure at first, but now that they've been coming for about a week, I'm almost positive. I don't feel them every day, but they're pretty regular. It's a pretty crazy thing to feel -- kind of like little air bubbles are popping in your belly -- and I was so excited when I started feeling them! The first time, I'd just woken up and I was reaching for my iPad on the side of the bed -- and I guess the baby didn't want me jerking around that quickly, because suddenly -- pop!
Also, some exciting news... we found out the baby's gender! I want to do a special post for the big reveal (I mean, let's be serious... you guys know there will be cake involved!), so it won't be till later this week or next, but I am SO EXCITED! It's hard to believe that in a few short months, we'll be meeting this little baby for the first time!
(And for those of you who are curious -- Calvin is doing much better! We have him on a great medicine that seems to be working really well, and he's back to his normal, sweetheart self. He's still very sick and we're slowly coming to terms with the realization that our time with him is likely pretty limited, but we're extremely grateful that he's doing better for now.)
