22 Weeks

And the belly continues to grow....
22 weeks big....18 weeks to BL arrives, or so we hope!
I was 2 weeks early, Greg was 2 weeks late, so I'm thinking that BL will be exactly on time! :)
We're heading to the doc on Dec 9th for our next check up.
BL has been moving quite a bit lately. Sometimes it's a surprising whack, just a nice little reminder that he/she is still here.
I'm thinking these lovely stretchy maternity pants are going to come in quite handy on Thursday, everyone will be jealous when they need to unbutton and I'm sitting nicely with stretchy material on.
Other than that, all is well. Greg is feverishly working on the rooms, painting, figuring out how to put the floor and molding down, and all sorts of other stuff. What a great hubby and dad!
Will post pictures of the room when floors are down.

It's ME! Baby Law!

Hi Everyone! It's BL speaking....and I'd like to admit that I am a stubborn yoga posing little bugger! This morning when Angela wanted to take my picture I was all cuddled up in a nice little ball. I was sleeping! Isn't that what people usually do on rainy days? Anyways, she woke me up and wanted me to stretch out so she could see how beautiful I was. But...I didn't want to! I was content with my feet over my head all balled up. Well, Angela was persistent and jiggled me all around but I was NOT going to move. I'll show her and my parents who is boss! Well then Angela decided to move my mama upside down and I DID NOT like that! I didn't want my mama to be uncomfortable hanging upside down and I knew my dad was watching so I decided to give in and stretch out my lovely body. Once I was all stretched out it was actually kind of fun. Angela took a picture of me waving....I'm such a good waver. I ever tried to give a thumbs up! Look at me go!
And take a look at my foot! This is what I usually use to poke my mama. She loves it1 I also like putting my feet over my head when I go to yoga class in the afternoons. I'm pretty good at that pose.
And here's my beautiful face. See my little button nose? That's my hand next to my face, I just love my hands! Anyways, heart was beating at 140 bpm because I was sleeping and doing yoga. When I start to move around it usually goes up. I weigh 12 oz. I love when my mama feeds me chocolate milk! Yum! I've been in this lovely home for 20 weeks and 3 days now. I'm not ready to leave yet, I think I have it made in here. My food tube, the placenta has moved up my mama's uterus wall. That's great for her because now she doesn't have to worry about having placenta previa. Don't tell her, but I secretly had it moved to make her feel better. And my heart, the most important thing, and why my picture was taking today. It's great! Last time George couldn't see it so that's why they sent me back, but Angela is a persistent Sonogram Tech and she finally got me to show her my strong heart. She was so happy to see it beating nice and strong. OK friends, what a busy day I have had, it's time for me to go relax, or on second thought, maybe I'll give my mama a few kicks and punches. I know she likes it when I do that. I'm going to keep practicing my kicks so my Daddy can feel me too. I tried to get strong by his birthday but hey, I can only do so much in here. I'll see everyone soon!
