Half way

Yep - I'm already 20 weeks along with this pregnancy, so technically half way. Brian has been feeling him move alot lately, which is funny because I barely do. I guess I'm just too busy all day to settle down and feel the kicks and punches. I'm feeling really well and quite thankful for that.

Another cute thing he has started to do is take books into his play tent in the playroom and read by himself. I was keeping him company the other afternoon in the playroom (while reading a baby magazine). He ran up to me and yelled "Mommy! Mommy!" and snatched my magazine and proceeded to read it himself.

Here is a picture of the head, belly and arm flying around.


This is supposed to the "male parts" as I call them. But it's hard to tell in the picture. The tech was quite sure this is definitely a boy, no doubt about it.



This is a leg. It's bent and the big white line is a big strong thigh bone.





And lastly, here is a video of the baby in motion, it's easier to see what things are when they are moving instead of just a freeze framed picture ...

First Post!

So, I hear I'm late to the blogging world and its the best new form of communication. Not sure I'd call it communication - since I do all the talking. But I guess, that's no different then most of my conversations. Anyhow! I'm going to hopefully post weekly and maybe even more frequently. We'll see. Here goes nothing ...



The other day Carter got into one of my drawers and pulled out the potholder. It took him two seconds to figure out what that was for. He put it on his hand and subsequently opened the (cold) oven. Too cute. Check it out ...
