Week 20
This week not only marks the halfway point of my pregnancy but also the anniversary of my first date with Rene! This afternoon, over coffee at our favorite French bakery, we discussed the existence of the chocolate almond croissant. It is the pastry symbolizing our union: Rene’s love for the pain au chocolat and my passion for the almond croissant. I was overjoyed, spotting them on the counter from across the room. It was a serendipitous way to celebrate our relationship as well as our little one’s healthy growth and development thus far. She was very active throughout the ultrasound, showing off her beautiful beating heart and leaving us with a glimpse of her sweet face.
