5 Month Pics

Well, we're a little over half way there! Now the panic is really starting to set in. haha, j/k - kinda. :) I am 23 weeks a long and am used to acrobatics in my belly by now. Still feeling great! This past week was the first week that total strangers started making comments about my belly. I'm past the - "maybe she's just a lil chubby..." and on to "oh ya, she's definately pregnant so it's safe to say something". haha ;) Ben is getting packed for his trip to Europe in less than 2 weeks. He'll be doing the 100 mile trek around Mont Blanc through France, Switzerland and Italy. At the conclusion, he'll be sumitting Mont Blanc. We had planned to go together from the start but being 6 month pregnant while traveling internationally and trekking 100 miles poses some challenges. We decided to play it safe and I'm relieved that I'm not going b/c he won't have to fret over me. :) We plan on going back in the next few years so I can do the trek - maybe even with baby. Pray for safe travels for Ben July 31 to August 16. Enjoy our latest pics!

Baby Post Ultrasound Pics

We had our first (and probably only) ultrasound 1 week ago - 6/29/09. It was so amazing! Baby Post's back was to us most of time but turned towards the end of the session. Baby was moving around like crazy. Ben couldn't believe that I wasn't able to feel every movement. I have been feeling kicks and movements for about a week now. So fun! Baby is about 10+ inches this week. I'm 21 weeks - 5 months. Over half way there. Still don't know the sex and we're keeping it that way. November 15th is the right due date according to the measurements that the ultrasound tech took. The last pic is of baby sucking it's thumb. Priceless!
