New Stuff

I know it's been a while since I've posted a picture of me...Sorry. Here's one that Kelly took of me last weekend at twenty weeks along.



I'm definitely looking more pregnant, which is much, much nicer than looking just a little chunky. The one bonus(?) that looking pregnant has brought is that people feel even more at liberty to touch my belly. Which mostly I'm OK with because mostly it's been people I know. I don't know what I'll think when a complete stranger does it. I also think it's funny because at this point, there's nothing for people to feel except for my belly. They can't feel the baby moving around yet. I don't know...maybe it's just irresistable to people...maybe some people think the baby bump is just that cute...like a plush teddy bear at the toy store that you can't resist reaching out and squeezing a few times.

Speaking of people touching me, Kelly has actually felt LBH move. It's going to be a while until other people can feel LBH, I think, because I'm not comfortable with other people touching me that low and for that long like I am with Kelly - all the baby movement up to this point has been very, very low in my abdomen. Every once in a while I notice something a little closer to my belly button, but there's no way anyone could feel that on the outside just yet. But the other night when we went to bed I had Kelly hold my belly for a few minutes because LBH was moving around a lot. All of a sudden, there was one strong, quick movement and Kelly gasped, so I knew he'd felt it too. That's been it, but even that little bit was pretty cool!
