25 Weeks Along...

Baby Boy - Our boy is moving, flipping, and punching regularly. He is VERY active in there, which is a wonderful reminder through out my day that my 17 extra pounds so far is worth it! At this stage, he is around 10 inches long but still pretty skinny. In the coming weeks, he will begin putting on the cute pudge that I can't wait to pinch. He is still just over a pound in weight.
Dad - Bryce has been working hard to keep up with my "nesting" demands. Putting together furniture, re-arranging our office room, and slowly but surely getting our mis-matched baby room organized. He is a very active and involved daddy already.
Mama - I have had 2 people in 2 days tell me that I am getting bigger by the day. At just over 6 months pregnant, I am feeling the best that I have felt through out the adventure so far. I have enough energy to make it through the day enthusiastically, and am tired enough by night time to get a great nights sleep. Our giant double-queen bed is still as good today as it was the first night we jimmy-rigged it together :)

Not the most flattering picture, but you get the point :)

We're missing a nice comfy mama chair in this corner

A few Updates...and pics

Baby: Our little boy is loving life so far. He moves, kicks, and rolls around in my tummy about 30 minutes out of every hour. Our new favorite game in our house is to sit and stare at my tummy. His punches are so big that my whole belly rumbles! Baby boy Seger had to have an unexpected 2nd ultrasound earlier this week after our first ultrasound showed a possible renal (kidney) cyst. After a few scared tears, we received the good news that although he does have a small fluid-filled cyst on his left kidney, these things typically resolve themselves prior to birth. All of his anatomy, including kidneys, are functioning great. Doctor says there is no reason to worry...
Bryce: I hate to sound repetitive, but I can't stress enough how grateful I am that Bryce is so supportive. He doesn't panic when I cry over what work-out hat I should wear (oh my...), and he is always thinking of new innovative ways to make my life easier. I love you lots!
Cara: Crazy, forgetful, and emotional pregnant lady. That about sums it up :) Still smiling though!

I said crazy, didn't I?

The giraffe - pretty much complete.

Getting bigger...still rockin' the spandex. Ha!
