19 weeks

I don't look too much different from last week, but a week seems to have made a big difference in my clothes. Yikes. I hope that belly band I ordered gets here soon.

Last weekend I did experience the first strong and deliberate motion by the baby. I think "he" was uncovering his ears. Bill and I went to a concert with some friends. It was a fundraiser for a church mission, but it was rocking! The group started out with jazz and closed the first set with some Beatles covers. But in the second set, they did the absolute best Jimi Hendrix covers I've ever heard. It was amazing. And it was loud. So no sooner did I sit down in the quiet car, the baby shifted to the right. Or he was uncovering those delicate ears. Regardless, it was the biggest movement I've felt yet. I can't wait for Bill to be able to feel it.

Next week we are having another ultrasound. I think many of the other couples in our centering group are going to find out the gender, but Bill and I are still holding out for the surprise.
