Baby Kee is at it again... Here are some photos from the past couple of weeks, now available on the flickr page. She had some playtime with the nurses at Bayview, and her official sonogram. Yesterday, we practiced our sonograms at the pregnancy clinic (another nurse and I are working toward being able to do them independently, which requires over 50 supervised sonograms), and she was proclaimed very photogenic. The machine there lets us put in a dvd and record the sonogram, so we have video of her bouncing around, waving her hands, and sucking and swallowing.
This sharing of my body with another person is starting to get interesting. I've had a couple of contractions in the last two weeks, which was an interesting sensation. It's completely normal for your body to practice these things long before the big day, so it's nothing to worry about. They weren't painful at all, just the flexing of a muscle, and I would have missed it if I was busy at work or something. Just yesterday, her kicks and hiccups were big enough that I could feel some of them up high in my uterus (which is above my belly button now) and some on top of my bladder. It's a little weird to be going about my day, emailing or lost in my own thoughts, and have her rolling around in there, doing her thing. I find myself stopping to talk to her when she moves, talking to her when we change activities, talking to her about Cocoa when he snuggles us, talking to her about the food I'm going to eat when I'm hungry. And on these warm days when we're lounging on the beach, I tell her how much fun she's going to have swimming this summer and playing with Cocoa in the water =) I'm really looking forward to the day she arrives, to holding her, and getting to know her. Only four months left!
