By popular request (ok, just one request from Sarah W) here is another belly shot! 22 weeks and a couple days:

22 week belly shot
When I asked Yenari what to write, her response was (a mere 4 seconds ago): ‘belly is getting big’. The belly isn’t getting too big, but Yenari does think she’s transforming into a whale. In exciting baby news, the little belly tenant is kick kick kicking away and moving around a lot. I’ve finally been able to feel her movements which is really exciting.  She’s been kicking hard enough that she wakes Yenari up every morning at 7am – she’s a morning fetus…and since Yenari works the evening shift and sets her alarm for 1pm, 7am is a tad bit early. I’m just hoping she continues to be a morning baby – much better than a baby working the night shift…

ultrasound
Yup – we’re going to have a baby girl! Â We went into the doctor today for the 20 week organ screening – a process where they do a very detailed ultrasound and examine all the organs, bones, and make sure that everything is looking good. Â The woman who was doing the examination asked us if we wanted to know the gender (which we did) so then she asked Yenari whether she had any preference for a girl or a boy – Yenari answered that she wanted to have a girl and the woman said she’s in luck, because it is a girl…then she pointed to the screen and said, “see, over here, you can see her hamburger” – I’d never quite heard that term for ‘lady parts’, so that was fairly amusing. Â Here are a couple shots from the ultrasound, though unfortunately their printer was having serious problems so the quality of the photos is really bad:

They don’t give the results on the organ screening during the appointment – that’s something that we hear about later, but nothing seemed abnormal, so we’re hoping everything is ok. Â It was great to see the ultrasound for so long – almost an hour – we got to see her moving around a lot, kicking, punching, sucking her thumb, and even giving us the finger! Â
After a very exciting appointment it was time for lunch, and the choice was quite obvious – hamburgers…

As of yesterday Yenari’s now 19 weeks through her pregnancy – almost halfway there and with a brand new haircut! Here she is:

And now stepping back a week, here’s Yenari receiving breakfast in bed on her birthday – December 31st. The gourmet menu I put together included six slices of french toast with syrup and cinnamon sugar, eight (!) pieces of bacon, and a glass of orange juice.
