Check "in" #2

Hello All!
Although today was an early start, Jack decided to do marathon training at 530 AM! This morning was sonogram #2 and Jack is doing well! His kidneys are fine and are within normal size and normal fluid levels. He decided to again be stubborn and did not want to move for the sonogram lady. We got to see him sucking his thumb and he was looking straight out at us so we did not get a good profile picture this time but it was still very cute. He now weighs 1 pound 12 ounces, a "good weight" as per the nurse. The due date has not been changed so we are still on track for April 2nd, woohoo! Below is a week 26 picture, next to the Christmas tree. It may not look like it but there is a definite Jack there and I have on maternity jeans too. My other jeans still fit but the button is somewhat of a pain when I bend over so I do not wear them often now. Overall everything is going well, I feel great and John is too thrilled to feel Jack when he is up at normal hours, trying to wake John up at 530 to feel kicks doesn't work well. haha. Check back soon for an update!

Move It On Over

Well, some of you may have heard this story from me by now, but I need to share it for posterity. I felt the baby move for the first time yesterday on Monday, December 7th.
Chelsea has been feeling it for a while, but the little grapefruit baby was too teeny for anybody in the outside world to enjoy. But NOW...
I woke up with my alarm at 7:02 a.m. and had barely gotten out of bed before Chelsea said, "Rabbit, come here. Feel." I put my hand down and boomp, boomp, there it was! It felt like somebody jump-kicking a wall of jello. I immediately felt an incredible high. It stuck with me for five hours.
It didn't hurt that after this little experience, I got in the car and my CD player perfectly timed "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" to end right as I pulled into the parking lot at school.
At the moment, life does not get much better.
