The ‘Berry’ Pregnancy Diaries – week 15

Thursday 5th September – 15w 1d I’m sure I saw berry kicking for the first time today! It’s much earlier than with little man though, we first saw him kicking at 21+1. I forgot how amazing it was to see your belly moving.  Friday 6th September – 15w 2d Think I’m coming down with a cold or something. My nose is running. I have a headache.

When we were lucky enough to fall pregnant again, I had decided that I wanted little man to know he was going to be a big brother from as early on as possible.  Since we discovered I was pregnant, I’ve been telling him that he’s going to be a big brother; I know he probably won’t quite understand this concept yet, but he has been around newborn/young babies, so I’m hoping he’s going to be gentle when berry arrives. As well as telling him about the baby, I’ve been showing him where it is, pointing to my belly. Not long …
