I'm halfway through with the first month of my second trimester. I have exactly two weeks left until I'm in month 5. The closer I get, the more exciting it gets. Of course, there's the usual pains from pregnancy but it's worth it. It's quite lovely feeling this jellybean kick and play inside of me. It's just started this week. It's such a surreal moment. Makes me wish our angel baby could've been apart of all this. I had flutters for about 2 weeks before I started feeling the movements. This rainbow baby definitely moves a lot when I eat cold foods or drink something ice cold. Jellybean is very playful. It's interesting seeing its genuine excitement from inside of me on the outside of me. It makes me very emotional, I love this baby with everything in me and I know that Bryce feels the same. We still have so much love for our angel baby.
I've started growing a bump. Not big or anything, just barely there. You can't see it when I'm wearing my oversized tee shirts but it's there. Bryce and I love it. He just rubs my tummy and talks about how much he's enjoyed watching our baby grow. Our baby loves him, it's always moving around when he's got his hand on my stomach. I just glad the chance of miscarriage has significantly dropped since entering my fourth month of pregnancy.
Bryce "hey there little baby!" He says that as he rubs my stomach and kisses it. Rainbow baby kicks to let Bryce know that it hears him.
Bryce "daddy loves you!" Again, Rainbow, lets him know that its paying attention to everything that he's saying.
Bryce "your mommy and I can't wait for your arrival!" This must have really made Rainbow explode with happiness because it's making a lot of movement.
This is the joys I love about pregnancy. This makes me understand why Bryce has wanted a baby since the beginning. This is beyond a blessing.

—5 Months Along—

I'm now in the first week of month 5. My bump has gotten a little bit bigger. You still can't see it under my oversized tees but when I'm wearing maternity shirts, you can kinda see it. We only have about 4 months left. Rainbow baby doesn't move as much as it used to but that's okay. Dr Tulip said that it's normal.
Speaking of Dr Tulip and this pregnancy journey, I find out how far along I am in two weeks. I wonder what kind of reveal we are doing.
Bryce's phone went off, it's his mom calling. He answers.
Bryce "hey mom."
His mom "hey, honey, how are you?"
Bryce "I'm good, and you?"
His mom "oh, you know how I am! Just letting everyone know that I'm gonna be a grandma."
Bryce "no one believes you, huh?"
His mom "nope, they all say I'm too young, HA! The lies people tell!"
Bryce "gotta admit, your very few wrinkles are deceiving."
His mom "wrinkles? HA!"
They laugh for a little bit. I love that she regularly calls now.
His mom "how is Kimmy and the precious cargo?"
Bryce "they are great. We're actually planning what we are gonna do with the reveal."
His mom "what reveal?"
Bryce "we find out the gender in a couple weeks. We're planning a gender reveal."
His mom "oh how wonderful! I cannot wait to see what you guys have up your sleeve! Y'all are so smart, I know it will be a good reveal!"
They talk for a while but the conversation finally comes to an end.
Bryce "I love that my parents check on us more now. I have missed mama."
I say "I'm glad she does. She's very involved in our lives now."
Bryce "I can't wait for our baby to be here!"
I say "I know, only 4 months!"
