I popped!
(Forgive the fact that I look like death in this picture. We got back from vacation at midnight after an entire day of travel, so hair/makeup are not top priorities right now.)
It's still a small bump, but 10 days in Costa Rica was good for Baby G, who is now (at least) the size of a bell pepper from head to rump. The past two-and-a-half weeks have brought lots of prenatal progress, including plenty of kicks, flicks and growth. I am loving each movement and look forward to feeling them more consistently. Every now and then, if I'm lying with my hands on my tummy, the baby kicks so hard it moves my hand!
Brad suspects I'm a week or so ahead of my current working due date(s) (July 22/25), for reasons I'm not entirely sure of, but the Babe G does seem to be ahead of the usual milestones via BabyCenter.com. Things like me feeling kicks, the baby sucking his/her thumb on ultrasound, ears moving to the sides of the head, etc. all seem to have happened a little "ahead of schedule."
I'm still telling myself the baby won't be here until late July, if for no other reason than to protect my sanity in case the little G decides to show up late to the party.
Progress!
It could be simply that Baby G is well, a G in which case they are all ahead of schedule and extremely bright, and beautiful! Can't wait to see this baby grow on the outside.
ReplyDeleteAren't kicks the best!! I miss that about being pregnant. sigh...but a baby in arms is just as good!
It was amazing to see her "pop". I know I was annoying touching her belly, but she just looked so beautiful!
