Week 22

After a couple of ultrasounds and many doctor's visits, we now have an updated due date of August 23, 2007. This puts me at week 22, which is a little over half way. This is pretty scary and exciting because it means that we are that much closer to meeting Baby Seaborn. :)

My pregnancy is so much better now. As mentioned before I was quite nauseous during the first part of the pregnancy and I didn't really have that nice transition into the 2nd trimester because I caught a bad cold. I have been fighting this cold for about a month and I think that I am finally winning. I was able to recover slightly when I passed the cold to Geofford, but then I got it back during Easter weekend. Due to my sickness, I wasn't able to fully enjoy our weekend at Cawaja beach. We were finally able to meet Ellis Seaborn Allard, but I wasn't able to hold him because I didn't want to pass on my nasty cold. Hopefully during the Victoria Day weekend, I will feel a lot better and be able to hold him. I think that we scared Geofford a little bit as we tried to get him to change one of Ellis' diapers. I am a little worried that Geofford will not want to get close to another diaper, but he's going to have to deal.

The next big milestone that I am waiting for is to feel the baby kicking. I think it will be a weird feeling having someone inside of you moving around, but I will feel alot better about knowing that the baby is alive if s/he is kicking.

Here is a picture of the 2nd ultrasound. The baby was quite uncooperative and refused to pose for us. We were also told that the baby was quite active and we were able to watch him/her try to squirm/kick/punch the ultrasound paddle thing. It was quite amusing.
