Well really she’s kicking me, my belly… But anyway, I just had to share. Though I have felt a lot of quickening and at times what seemed to be a bit stronger movement, today is the first day I recall feeling strong kicks or punches from our baby girl! Maybe it’s her increased heart rate […]

Today I have spent time following up with various doctors about paperwork, test results and insurance coverage in preparation for our next fetal echocardiogram tomorrow morning.
