Wiggles

One of my favorite things about being pregnant is feeling all of the little guy's wiggles all of the time. He's quite an active baby in my opinion, but I guess since he's my first pregnancy I really have nothing to compare him to. My doctor asked me to start counting his kicks for half an hour a day. He typically gets anywhere between 90 and 110 kicks in a 30 minute period. Sometimes I'm lazy and only count for 10 and he typically gets 30 to 40 kicks during that time. He's getting big enough that I can now see my stomach move around with his movements which is kind of crazy but also fun. Of course, as he grows my stomach grows too. Here's a picture of my belly taken today at 29 weeks.

We also had an opportunity to get a sneak peek at the little guy at our 28 week ultrasound. We thought we'd just get to see his face like this...

...but the ultrasound tech surprised us and we got to see him like this!

I'm so in love with this little guy already and I haven't even met him yet. I can't wait to finally get to hold him. Only 11 weeks to go!

Wow. What amazing pictures of your cute boy! Not like I'd know either, but that DOES sound like a lot of kicking!

How exciting. Being able to see the movements of your tummy is a cool thing. I call it belly dancing. We got some of ours on video. if you have a video camera you should document it.

So So So So NEAT! I am so excited for you I can't even stand it! Isn't it the best to feel your baby moving - it was my absolute favorite part of being pregnant - I didn't even mind it at 2 o'clock in the morning!

Yep, I definitely remember the kicks! And there's nothing quite so cool as ultra sound pics.

OH, he's just precious! I'm so excited for you. Of course your little guy will take the place of my little guy, but hey, he can hold a close second, right?

Just be ready ti run around, especially if he is that active. He's living up to your fave little guy so far, B was VERY active as well, still is! Can't wait to pics of him out of the tummy!
