Gettin' Kicked Around

The most exciting event so far in this pregnancy is feeling the baby move. It started a couple of weeks ago now- but gets stronger everyday. At first it was only me who could feel it... just a light bumping on my lower belly. Now sometimes I feel like I am being jabbed with an elbow. About a week ago Drew was finally able to feel it. It was so exciting for me to finally have someone to share the movements with that I started crying (probably due to the high levels of hormones!). I remember when Jess was pregnant with Lexi you could see legs, elbows, and a head occasionally popping out under the skin. What a crazy, crazy process!

Our 20 week Ultrasound

Here is a 3-D image from our 20-week ultrasound just over a week ago. The technology is very cool. Unfortunately our baby is stubborn just like his mum and dad and wouldn't come up out of it's little hammock space down in the birth canal. So this was pretty much the best photo we were able to take. It reminds me of a charcoal sketch Kat might have done in college. The skin on the top of the head is really there of course- just appears to be missing from the pressure of the ultrasound tool. Dr. Streeter said that everything looks great- no sign of any problems.

Keeping In Touch

In order to have everyone stay up on our belly progress... I have followed my sister Jess' lead. I have created this blog so that I can share all of the baby excitement with you- our family and friends. Enjoy!
