23 Weeks & New Experiences

It's time for another picture of my growing belly! We are now 23 weeks into it and I'm still feeling pretty great. I feel very blessed because of how easy my pregnancy has been so far...other than the baby using my bladder as a trampolene and for kickboxing practice, I really can't complain! It helps that I have an amazing hubby who is so supportive and helpful...and going through his OB/Pediatrics rotation in school right now so he really is gaining an understanding of what I'm going through! I know a lot of women have it a lot tougher than I have up to this point, so I am very thankful. It is weird to see pictures of my expanding self, but fun to think it's all because Baby Lindo is growing! She is now over 11 inches long and weighs more than a pound!!! I read that in the next 4 weeks she will double in size...maybe that's why my appetite is so big lately?!We have another ultrasound on Wednesday, 2/25, so we can't wait to see her again and will hopefully be able to get 100% confirmation on the sex! We will see...she hasn't cooperated very well so far! :) I will post pics for sure.

This last week has given us all some new experiences as well. I have been feeling the baby move a lot stronger and Chris got to feel her move for the first time on Monday, 2/16/09! It was so awesome to have him experience that. She loves Daddy!

Another new and random experience for me this week was being "marked." Chris and I took Koda to the dog park over the weekend and as I was just standing there minding my own business watching all the dogs run around, I felt something hit my leg...I looked down to see a dog named Tucker just lowering his leg from PEEING ON ME!!! I was so SHOCKED I couldn't help but laugh...and then tell Chris we needed to get out of there! See the evidence below...SICK! HAHA! I will never forget good ole' Tucker...

Love your cute prego belly! You look so happy and healthy. Just wait for third trimester, Baby Lindo will really give that bladder a work out!
