Just about to suck his thumb:

He's either going to eat us and put a curse on our children or he's laughing:

Baby Renoud is 12 ounces, the size of a soda can - so picture a soda can with arms - and is merrily swimming and kicking. This week, he will learn how to drive his mother crazy and hiccup.

Yes, It's a Boy! Here's the Proof!

Definitive proof that it's a boy!

Baby's little hand (and the unbilical cord):

Our very chill son with his legs crossed:

What a Difference 2 Weeks Makes!

November 26 to December 5th! Same time of day. Whoosh! We've popped! And little Jameson Louis (no no, that's not the name - we're placeholding that one!) is moving every day. He's pretty active during the day and quiet during the night. His mother is very thankful for that ....

Baby Fat in my FACE

Argh! By the time this over, I am going to look like a massive watermelon! No baby bump showing in this dress (but from the side, you definitely could see it).

Belly Bump Photo

The belly bump really seems to come ago. You'll see in this photo that I'm sporting my oh-so-amazing maternity jeans. They're my regular jeans that I had a stretchy band put into so that I could easily fit into them for longer. =)

It's really not the most attractive photo in the world but I can take heart in knowing that I'm the smallest girl in yoga that's 18 weeks along. There's a bunch of us all clustered around the same time period.

One girl is 1 day ahead of me and her first Dr's appointment is December 15th. So, she'll be, 22 or so weeks before she sees the doctor for the first time. And they're not doing ultrasounds at all. Craaazy.
