Get out of mah belly

Here is the latest pic of my pregnant belly. Not overwhelming yet, but definitely getting bigger! Random people in public are starting to notice, which is kind of fun. At least until they ask what I am having and I tell them we’re not going to find out and they get annoyed with me. We’re surprised by how strongly people feel – even people we don’t know – that we MUST find out the sex as soon as possible. Does it really matter? Not to us!

Jackaruby is moving more and more, or else I’m just feeling it more now that he/she is bigger. It’s mostly random with one exception – apparently the baby has strong feelings about Neil Diamond. Last week I put my Neil CD on in the car and I felt the movement right away and it lasted the whole time the music played. I tested it again by putting the CD on again over the weekend and, sure enough, Jackaruby started wiggling around. I just don’t know if he/she is dancing and enjoying it, or squirming in misery and telling me to turn it off and stop singing!

We had another doctor visit yesterday and all is well and moving along as planned. Almost half way through the pregnancy with only five months until the due date!
