How Trivial (26/1)

[26 weeks, 1 day]

This past weekend, Nick and I drove up to Rapids to have a mini-Trivia team reunion. It was nice to see all those folks, most of whom I hadn't seen in several years as we all left Rapids.

Wiggle is getting bigger, and I'm starting to feel its effects on my stability. Wiggle is also very active at times. I get a kick out of feeling all of the turns and punches (though a little less at night) and even pausing during work to watch my stomach move and bubble. :o) Wiggle also seems to like it when I sing it If You Want to Be A Badger and You Are My Sunshine.

Beware of the Outie (24/2)

[24 weeks, 2 days]

I just realized that my belly button has turned into a visual indicator of my bladder content. Outie = have to pee. Innie = I'm good. Weird. [You can hereby store this tidbit under TMI]

I'm also either having kidney stone problems again or the kid's kicking the crap out of them (is that possible?).

"Tiny" (23/6)

[23 weeks, 6 days]

Things are progressing nicely. I feel much bigger, but as I was told about an hour ago, I look "tiny". I guess that's okay with me, as long as everything's going well.

I'm starting to feel like a rock tumbler at times. Kicks and punches (sometimes in nice combinations) all over the place, and then it goes back to sleep. If only the baby understood the concept of "weekend", though. I got a nice 5 AM wake up call on both sides of my abdomen simultaneously.

Viva Mexico (22/2)

[22 weeks, 2 days]

On Sunday, we got back from a week-long vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, all courtesy of Grandma Maxine. Other than a bit of tummy trouble after we got back to Madison, we had a great time! We stayed at a nice resort, took a fabulous family charter to a small fishing village, and even saw a few humpback whales! Bump even got to have a little fun!

There's something alive in here... (20/3)

[20 weeks, 3 days]

Hello Everyone!

Well, a lot of new, fun stuff going on. I'm most definitely showing now, though picture I've posted here doesn't really show it as much (and despite how it looks, I do change shirts every day). I'm feeling little kicks, punches, and even the occasional wiggle. It's still very tough to tell what's what, though.

The neatest thing is that we had our 20 week exam and ultrasound this morning. It's.... a baby! We did not find out the gender, nor did we want to. It's all proper and all parts accounted for, so that's all good. By the look of these pictures, it will be a dancer, a singer, and a lean mean little arm-wrestling machine. :o)

Latest Doctor Appointment (17/4)

[17 weeks, 4 days]

We had another regular doctor appointment yesterday, but this time, we took a little video of hearing the heartbeat for posterity. It sounds like Nick eating, if you ask me. :o)

Nearly Four Months Down (16/6)

[16 weeks, 6 days]

I'm starting to get a bit bigger lately. I've borrowed some maternity clothes (not actually wearing any yet, but I should be within a few weeks), and I bought a Snoogle pillow to help me sleep at night. I'm not thrilled about no longer being able to sleep and stretch out on my back, but that's a minor sacrifice. :o)

Nick and I are enjoying a quiet weekend. We went over to friends' house for dinner and the Badger game last night. No Valentine's Day shenanigans (or any sort of acknowledgment of the "holiday" of any kind). But we were very happy for the victory. Hope your weekend was nice as well!
