Boy Oh Boy!!!

Brian and I went yesterday for our 5 month OB appt. to reveal the sex of little Bub. I can tell already baby is taking after mommy, stubborn and private, because it took Dr. Edgerton 20 minutes to get the baby to pose just right! At one point, little Bub was sitting indian style in the womb not wanting the picture taken. Finally, the Dr. got the angle just right! If you can't tell, baby boy Bub is lying on his side with his two legs stretched out towards the right of the frame (although, his right leg is barely visible because it's toward the top of the frame), and in the middle of his outstretched legs, as plain as day, are his naughty bits! Boy oh boy!!! You can click on the picture for a closer view.

Mommy and baby are doing very well! All the tests and sonograms have come back 100% normal (so far so good!!). I've gained 9 pounds to date and feel wonderful! Besides the heartburn (it's subsided for the most part), I don't really feel pregnant. When I tell people I'm 5 months along, they smile and look at my belly in disbelief. It's better than looking further along than I really am, I guess :) I do feel every twist, turn, somersault, karate kick, and judo chop little Bub boy makes though! It's the most amazing feeling, but the first few times scared the crap out of me because it was so sudden and random! He's very, very active during the day and fairly still at night and bedtime...thankfully!

I know a lot of people have been requesting a belly picture...well, here it is, finally!
