Corey's development

Hard to believe that Corey will be here in about 3 months!  He has become so active in my belly now.  I know certain times of the day that he is more active than others.  It's so sweet.  Around 22 weeks (about 3 weeks ago) Paul felt him move for the first time.  I loved when he felt Ashley move for the first time and now seeing him react to Corey brings that same feeling back.  It's such a miracle.  Usually that is the bonding moment that we are now a family of four.  He feels more involved now.  Ashley felt him move too!  I love to watch her put her hand on my belly and then look at my face and smile as she's waiting for him to kick her back.  She gets so excited!  He really loves her and reacts to her voice all the time.  She talks to him so much and each night she puts her head on my belly and says he's her pillow and tells him, "Thanks Corey" for giving her a pillow to rest on.  When I went away to Fredericksburg a couple weeks ago, she was so happy when I returned and immediately went to my belly to tell Corey how much she missed him too!  This truly is an amazing experience.  I am so excited to meet him.

I went for my 24 week appointment last week and all is progressing normally.  His heart rate was 155 bpm and my tummy is measuring around 25 cm, which is right on target.  Although, I did come down with a cold virus over the last week, so that has been making me feel uncomfortable. But other than that, all is great!
