End of Week 23

Its been a few weeks since my last post - I've been feeling pretty tired lately. Pregnancy has made me rather cat-like. I can curl up on any couch for a nap at any time these days (especially in the sunny spots)!

My last visit with the midwife (mid-June) went well. The ultrasound results were in and everything was normal. The baby is a good size with all the right parts in all the right places.

The baby is kicking up a storm. Mark can feel the kicks now and you can sometimes see my tummy move.

Here is a belly picture taken about a week ago.

Ultrasound Fun

Mark and I had a great time at our ultrasound on Wednesday. The baby was a busy little body moving around the whole time while the ultrasound was being performed. Our technician, who struck me as a rather unflappable sort of person, was starting to get visibly frustrated (lots of puffed cheeks and deep breaths). I even felt the baby kick to probe she was using on my belly a few times! (naughty baby)

Apparently our baby is not only uncooperative but modest and wouldn't give up the goods about it's sex. Not that any of you will believe me since we've been bragging about how we're going to find out and not tell anyone! But Mark and I are going to be just as interested to find out whether we've made a boy or a girl when s/he makes her/his appearance.
