Past the halfway mark!

Congratulations, me.

Here's my 21 week picture..........sorry about taking so long to post another belly pic! I'll post more often now, as I think things will be progressing a little more rapidly! Really all of the action you see here has happened in the last week and a half - Aiden is finally ready to be publicly noticed!

I got my first "can I touch??" the other day at work - that was wierd and new. I suppose I should get used to this request as it will only increase in frequency.

I did a film shoot on Friday in which I assembled a "put-together-at-home" boxspring and mattress....I hope no one who sees this commercial is offended by the sight of a pregnant woman clearly being forced to perform physically challenging duties that some sensitive male should have offered to perform instead. ;)

Oh, and heartburn finally kicked in......boo. I'm not impressed with this development, as I was hoping to avoid this one little ailment. Oh well.

Enjoy!

It's a Boy!

I'm so sorry that it's taken me so long to post! Very
sincere apologies go out in particular to my sister
Amanda, who has been very disgruntled with me....

So on Friday we went to the Doctor for the BIG appointment......and found out that we are having a BOY!!!!! The funny thing is that we had come to expect a girl, so much so that hearing the news of a boy was almost as strange as hearing that we were having a baby Klingon (although news like this, for me, would probably incite more joy than shock). We took several minutes to absorb the information, getting more and more excited as we saw the pictures and realized that finally, it's all real! We can plan and dream and stop using awkward asexual pronouns!

So Aiden ________ Reeves will be our son - and a healthy, strong son, based on all of the information we gleaned from our ultrasound! Our technician was delightfully gay, very kind and funny, and made us feel like we were the first and last couple in history who would ever have the privilege of watching their baby twist and squirm in utero.....very special. Well, special once he let me drain my overflowing bladder....there were literally an extra three inches of "baby" before I got to go.....and the usual hard-to-convince-anyone-I'm-pregnant-especially-not-five-months-along tummy afterwards. Sigh. One of these days baby Aiden will come out to play...

He is kicking like a monster though - especially at night when his daddy is around and making all sorts of ruckus. These two are going to raise hell....

Well, I promise to post another belly pic in the next day or two....meant to have one up already, but we've been so busy!
