Spreading the News

Baby Baby! Here we are posing (after a million dud pics) at 24 weeks. Baby's ultrasound turned out beautifully. It was annoying to wait 3 1/2 weeks to hear the analysis of the pictures. But as everything turned out well I'm not too upset. Baby weighed 12oz four weeks ago so I imagine he must have gained a few since then. My tummy has certainly gained a few. This black shirt is one of the few real maternity pieces I bought and I could, and do, sleep in it often. So soft!

I finally told the YMCA kiddos that I was having a baby. They were funny, lots of name suggestions and excitement. Ava, a first grader had her hands on the tummy asap singing rock-a-by-baby. Yet another difference between my middle schoolers and these kids, none of them would dare touch the tummy!

I am watching the news while the photo shoot was happening so I was a little distracted! My doctor says I have Basketball Belly, which would explain the hardness of my middle. I was kind of freaking me out, it really does feel like half a basketball is stuck under my shirt.                                                     We are inching closer to the big day- still a million and one things to do. But for now I'm happy to feel baby flip and tumble and still be able to see my feet :)
