Hello Little One

Today you are 23 weeks & 5 days old. We are nearly at the 6 month mark.

I am beginning to learn your schedule. You are almost always moving, except for a few hours in the evening where to take it easy & rest up so you may wake me up several times each night, especially around 3pm (reminding me that I have to pee oh so very badly). You often kick hard enough for your dad to feel it, and sometimes in a place where I can see it.

You prefer hanging out on the right side of my belly & you often have the hiccoughs, which are adorable & make me feel like I have popcorn in my stomach.



This photo was taken yesterday, at 23 weeks 4 days, while I was in the back room at work. No amount of cream, lotion & vitamin e will stop you from turning my belly into a haven for stretchmarks, but I love you anyhow.

You are apparently about the size of a papaya these days (slowly working your way towards eggplant status). Sometimes I feel you push your back or you bum so far out that I feel like you are trying to tip me over (which seems very likely given my balance these days).

On Tuesdays I take you to yoga where we stretch & breath our way into a blissful state & sometimes you give happy little nudges & I feel so peaceful.

There are only 16 weeks left until we get to meet you.

I am already so in love.
