DANCING IN THE WOMB

This baby is so active in there!

Adam feels our growing baby has his dancing legs and is dancing to the beat of Mama's bowel sounds. I like to believe it's a future soccer star and is using my bladder as a soccer ball. Or perhaps we have a future Cirque du Soleil performer in the making...hmmm? How does it find any room to move around so much in there?

Adam was able to feel the movement last week (week 20) for the first time and got so excited! It is such a strange feeling knowing that there is a little life in me moving around. Poke poke here, poke poke there. And then it feels it is doing somersaults at times.

SOUND WAVES

Here we are at 17 weeks 2 days! Ziggy is growing just fine with all measurements currently up to par. Ziggy is definitely an active little thing in the womb as we witnessed the baby swimming around, sucking it's thumb, and punching the ultrasound machine. We were amazed at the development of the organs, especially the heart. It was pointed out to us how full the baby's stomach was too (way to go mama! All the midnight snacks are paying off). We did not find out the sex of the baby that day, but had them seal the info in an envelope which now sits on our nightstand. It was so surreal watching the ultrasound screen and feeling the instrument on my belly and realizing that that baby is really inside of me. Wow!
