Week 24

A minor visit- I was late and couldn't get in to the exam room. Natalie said the ultrasound looks good and next visit is a toughie- Hallie gets a few lab tests including a glucose test, as well as another ultrasound. Everyone that I've talked to says go with the orange syrup...

Hallie's gained eighteen pounds and that's a real good number at this point. She definitely looks pregnant and has to pee an awful lot.

Kicks and Thumps

In bed last night, and Hallie whispers, "You might be able to feel the baby move". I tentatively place my hand on her belly and ka-dump, ka-dump. Right there. Amazing. The baby seems to get active when Hallie stops being active for the day. She's lean enough that I can easily feel the baby every night. Sometimes kicks, sometimes sliding rolls across her belly.

Her cute little inny belly button, by the way, has gone the way of the dodo. What we've got now is a cute little surface belly button ready to pop into an outie at any moment.

Baby or Beer Belly?

You decide.
