I am now at the end of my 16th week, and since Monday I have been feeling
my
baby moving inside me. "There's someone in my belly", is what I am now
saying instead of "I'm pregnant".

Since then, I find myself with a stupid smile more and more often, but
that's not the strangest thing. I also often feel these surges of pure
pleasure swelling my belly, my lungs, my heart, along with these little
butterflies in my stomach. I tried to pinpoint the feeling, and I found
only
one wonderful explanation: I am falling in love! Falling in love with my
baby, only 16 weeks into conception, utterly and blindly, not knowing
baby's
gender, baby's looks, nothing. Nothing but this wonderful feeling...

It is exhilarating.

This feeling is even more intense AFTER your baby arrives. Of course, with
me it took a few weeks, but I AM in love.
