Yesterday, I was 20 weeks pregnant. I finally managed to get a few belly pics, even though by this time with Dora we probably had a memory card full of them. With no further delay:
The Belly
In other news, today my sweet, sweet, princess pie is 18 months old. 18 months! Look at the last post to see her picture. Behind her impish smile, you might be able to imagine life with her. Peeking around corners to give a 1,000 watt smile, only to run off again so you will chase her. Falling down and trying to decide whether she should cry this time or not. Getting frustrated when you try to help her, because she can do it by herself. Getting FURIOUS when she can't do it by herself. Clapping when she does do it by herself, and looking around to make sure you are clapping too. We are, baby, we are.
Tomorrow I have a checkup at the coochie doctor. I'll be 17 weeks and a few days along, so I'm really excited because we should finally be scheduling our FIRST and ONLY SONOGRAM OF THIS WHOLE FREAKING PREGNANCY! With Dora, I had 2 sonograms recorded on VHS by 11 weeks. I am supremely glad I got to start feeling this baby move at 14 weeks and have been feeling it daily since 16 weeks because reassurance is something that has been sorely lacking this time around. Most of the time I love that my doc is a minimal interventions type guy, but the sono's are sure something I miss not having. Of course, that means that I didn't have to go to the RE, so YAY!
And because I don't want this baby to feel like it's a left out second baby, a letter:
Dear Baby,
I love you. Your daddy and I are SO excited to meet you, but stay put a while because you need to cook some more, okay? OH, and keep kicking, it makes me smile every time.
Love,
Mama
(OK, so still kinda second babyish...)
