5 1/2 months

So these pictures were taken a little short of 5 1/2 months, but instead of my traditional side view of the big belly, I decided to send these instead. Jason and I went swimming with the pups at mom and dads and mom wanted to take pics to send the family. You will notice (since I'm in a bathing suit) that things are getting larger, including the fat under my arms!!

And please don't ask if I'm having twins - I'm just getting really big really fast!!

He's Kicking!!

That's right!! I have been feeling the butterflies inside and knowing that he was moving around, but today I felt it on the outside. Not much though, just a little push out right below my belly button and to my left. I knew he was moving a lot because of the butterflies, then I felt a bubble/pop. I sat up and put my hand there and low and behold I felt it! It was the most amazing feeling. I just feel bad that Jason was not here to feel it too. He is playing the Maryland Open trying to bring home the big bucks for his family :) I know this will definitely put a smile on his face when he calls.
I am a little over 5 months now - time is really flying by. One of my members who is an OBGYN asked me if I was having twins. When I said no he said I must have a big baby! Thanks a lot! Was he saying I looked fat???? I mean geez, I thought I was looking too small - who knew!
I am still smiling from the kick - WOW!

Little Dengler has a Dangler

That's right - It's a BOY!! Seeing Jason's face when the tech said those three words was priceless!! I don't think his smile could have gotten any bigger.

Here he is legs spread and showing off his "goods"!

Too cute - sucking his thumb!

This time around, the baby was very cooperative. In fact, he was so cooperative, we were out of there in 20min! The baby is very healthy and everything is in order, size and all. In fact, my due date was moved up to December 2nd. I am actually approximately 4 days further than we thought. Jason and I are so happy right now, especially now that we know the sex!!

4 1/2 months!!

Here you go - one month since the last picture. We are 4 1/2 months now - half way there!!!

It's getting closer!!

That's right, I think we should be feeling the baby any day now. The other day I was lying on the couch and pulled my shirt up above my stomach. I noticed that during certain parts of the day I can see my belly "flutter". It is just so amazing!! I told Jason that I feel like I'm in the movie "Alien". That any minute now something is going to emerge out of me!! I can not wait to feel the baby for the first time. I know it should be happening soon - we are already half way there - WOW!
On a side note, to everyone that reads this. Please keep my friend Katie and her family in your prayers. Three weeks ago she gave birth to twins - her second and third children. The little boy is doing amazing, however the little girl is very sick and is back in the hospital. Please think of them during this tough time. It just shows that no matter how well you take care of yourself, anything can happen. We love you Katie!
