Kicking and Screaming

My wife has begun to feel movement on a regular basis. Though these movements can not be felt from the outside yet, I hope they will be soon. One complaint she has is that Connor is resting on her bladder quite often, which makes her have to go to the bathroom. Sometimes, she barely makes it. In fact, she has considered bringing an extra set of clothes to her office just in case.

She is 25 weeks pregnant now and we are more than half way to her due date. We will likely have a 3D ultrasound performed during week 28. The images deliver a clear view of the baby. When I was born, my first picture was right after birth; my little ink footprint accompanied the birth certificate as well. Connor, however, already has quite a photo album underway. We have images of him when he was nothing but a tiny mass of pulsating cells, images of him during the Amniocentesis, images during the last series of ultrasounds (posted below), and we will have remarkably clear 3D images of him with just 12 weeks to go until his big entry into the world.
