More about Baby

As of tomorrow, I will be 27 weeks pregnant and into the third trimester of my pregnancy. The baby weighs between 3 and 5 pounds and my stomach is growing to show just how big this baby is! We got to see our beautiful at 24 weeks.

Here are two of the several pictures we got to take home with us. I chose these two because they are the most clear and easy to figure out what you're looking at:

This is the baby's profile. It's head is on the right and it's legs are curled up towards the left.

Here is a footprint- the toes point to the right of the picture. It was neat to see what has been kicking me for the past several months! One pregnancy blog I like to read is Zero to Forty brings up the difference between early kicks and ones that I'm experiencing now: "Remember those early bubbly butterfly kicks? Yeah. Those have been replaced by something akin to a rabid mongoose flippin' out inside a burlap sack." It's a pretty accurate description. Daniel and I can even watch my stomach move when the baby does its own version of PT (Physical Training)- which on some days, like Tuesday, happens right after Reveille is played over the base loud speakers at 0630.

This week I'll be sure to have Dan take a picture of my baby bump to let you all see that. I've definitely grown since we were in Pittsburgh- you'll just have to wait a bit to see how much!
