Baby on the Move!

A baby is an amazing thing. I don't think that any pregnant woman can fully explain the feelings that go through her the first time she finds out she's pregnant...the first time she hears that heartbeat...the first time she feels that little flutter...the first time those little flutters turn into full on jabs!

I signed up for these weekly updates on http://www.babycenter.com/ when I became pregnant. It tracks how your baby is growing and what is happening in your current week. The fun part is they always associate the baby with a food item each week, so I have coworkers and friends asking "what's the baby this week?". Read on to find out how big Jooyoung was/is through this process!
