When we first announced we were pregnant, everyone commented that it would pass so quickly. My evaluation at this point is that it is NOT passing quickly. I really would prefer if there was a way to not even find out I'm pregnant until about the beginning of the 5th month, so I don't have to think about it so much time...
22 weeks pregnant
But now we are geting to the point where there are visible things that make it much more real - and kind of cool. First, the sonogram where I saw that there really is a fully formed (at least from the outside) baby in there. One that will be a BOY!!! Mario is very excited, and after my initial period of mourning at not being able to buy little girl clothes, I too am looking forward to a little boy. Mario has had a couple of patients tell him that their doctor was wrong, and the baby wasn't the sex they thought it would be so now he is convinced it's all up in the air again, and I started thinking about it and I'm so used to the idea of a boy that it would be kind of sad and weird to switch...
Mario as a little boy so you can see the gene pool we're working with here.
His eyes look brown here but they're green.
Also, the baby has started kicking all over the place. He kicks about random times throughout the day, but expecially if I lay down on my back - apparently he doesn't like resting on my spine so does a lot of squirming to move around. So now that I am past the point of feeling like it's all alie and I should start warning people to not expect a baby - I guess we better get all the crap cleaned out of the second bedroom and get it ready...
