Firsts

I experienced a lot of "firsts" this week, after eclipsing the halfway mark. I thought I'd record them here so that I can remember them.
1. First person to ask me if I'm pregnant, and, less than a week later, first person to ask when my due date is (without politely asking if I'm pregnant). I think I have Ben & Jerry to thank for this.
2. First time daddy got to feel his son kick.
3. First earthquake (can't wait to tell Quinn about that one).
4. First time reading to Quinn.
5. First time wearing real maternity clothes.
I know that there will be many more "firsts" to come, particularly after he is born. I am looking forward to them all!

Halfway!

Today marks the "halfway" point of my pregnancy.  Of course, I could have been halfway days ago--who knows when this sweet little boy will be making his appearance?  I am getting more and more excited to meet him, and I think he is excited as well--he keeps rolling around and poking me!  It is a very strange feeling to have a living being inside of you.

The baby "bump" has turned into a baby "mound," and here is the proof.

The Mighty Quinn

We visited the specialist again today, and found out that we will be having a boy!  He will be named after his father, but to avoid confusion (or perhaps create some?), we will call him Quinn, since he will be the "fifth."  The boy was active again today, and the ultrasound tech had to follow him around in there as he kept moving.  Seems like he has quite a personality already.  They gave us a ton of ultrasound pictures, so here are a few of my favorites.

First, the "acrobat," with his legs over his head so far that his feet are behind his head:

Here he looks like he's laughing:

And finally, the scary 3D pic that makes him look like an exhibit from "Body Worlds."

We can't wait to meet you, Quinn!
