We've got a mover and shaker on our hands! For the past week or so, our Baby Stop has been dancing, playing quarterback or doing some variety of high kicks in my belly. Last night we actually saw his/her antics from the outside. If I laid still, you could see my belly vibrate back and forth with each movement. Creepy but so neat! Then this morning (Baby is definitely more active in the morning), while I was working, I would look down and see movement again. I think I better lay off the sugar!
We saw the doctor today for our 24 week appointment and all is well. She said the ultrasound looked great and Baby's heart rate is a strong 138 bpm. I am measuring one week ahead of my scheduled due date (April 22) but she said that may all even itself out (babies grow at different rates and Baby Stop was measuring right on at the ultrasound).
I am feeling great and really starting to grow (photo coming next week to be an official 6 months - time flies when you're having fun!). This pregnancy has really been a breeze and I feel very fortunate to feel so good all the time. We have been very busy with family in town but after New Year's things should settle down and I can get back into a work out and healthy eating routine. Christmas was hard on the baby diet and I think I said too many times to myself - "ah, I'm pregnant, I can eat that too!"
