Week 24

Each week is passing so fast. We had a dr's appt yesterday and another ultrasound today. It looked so different from the last ultrasound. The baby grew so much! He filled in a little more than when we saw him 4 weeks ago. He gained a lb since the last ultrasound. He's 1 lb 10 ounces now. He looked so cramped in there, I felt so sorry for him! His little hands were right up to his face, his feet were so adorable! When the ultrasound technician was trying to get a better view of his feet and was pushing the transducer a littler harder at the area where his feet was, he gave 2 strong kicks. It was so funny to see his little feet kicking on the screen. Now I know how it looks whenever he kicks me. This time she didn't capture as good a picture of him than the last technician. There was a part when she managed to capture his face for a brief moment and what i saw, it's so hard to describe. It only hit me at that moment that we're having a baby! The last ultrasound he hid his face and he was more skeletal looking, so it was hard to get a good look at his face. But in that moment when i saw his face on the screen, my heart just jumped. It's real!! We're having a baby!! LOL!

Apparently, from now til birth, he's gonna gain about 6 ounces a week! My back's already feeling the extra weight, and I can feel i'm walking different to compensate for the extra weight in the front.

He's kicking so much now. I can feel him wiggling around quite often and sometimes feel his knee or elbow pressing into my side as he moves by which kinda hurt for a brief moment.

We're so excited that it's coming closer and closer. It seems like this year went by in a flash!
