My pregnancy - week 12

(Or... Why do I call my son "tumtum")

My body shows hardly any change but I feel very... Pregnant. 

All my energy changed, my mind, my breath, (my tired legs!) all speak of you.

 
Many say this is too soon to feel pregnant but I do not hear them... I feel you... Inside.
It's my first pregnancy, and I dream of you. 
Yesterday I was lying in bed, both my hands resting on my tummy, feeling so excited to feel it grow, to feel you grow. 
Yesterday I was lying in bed and for the first time I am sure I felt you. 
I felt bubbles inside, like butterflies when you fall inlove but... Different.  
I felt movement inside, like if a little fish was swimming around but... Different.
I felt a heartbeat inside, like if I could feel mine but... Different...
I heard your fast, gentle "tumtum" "tumtum" "tumtum" for the first time and even felt it against my hand!

From now on I will be calling you tumtum, cause my Love for your heart... has started.

How about you? How was your 12th week of pregnancy?

You might not see it, but we are...)
