Baby Belly Now on Display

First of all, I would like to bring everyone's attention to the right of the blog. Jon has a goal to one day climb Mt. McKinley in Alaska. To help him prepare for that time of adventure, he is trying to go hiking more often. It is something he really enjoys doing. I am glad to announce that Jon is now happily participating in our blog by posting the mountains that he climbs. He is planning on doing a new mountain later this week if possible, so hopefully we will soon get to see a new one on the list.

I am 23 weeks along today. I wish time would fly by faster though because I'm excited for all that's to come. Our baby now weighs about the same as a large mango; one pound. It measures about 11 inches long. I can feel baby Williams move around a little bit, but not too often. According to the last ultra sound though, our baby likes to move like crazy. I'm sure I'll feel more movement as time goes by. I had another appointment this last week and everything still looks great. I'm always happy to hear that the baby's heart is going strong. My next appointment is in a month, and then I'll begin to see the Dr. more frequently.
I've finally got some maternity clothes. Jon was so nice as to come with me very willingly and with a good attitude. I appreciated his opinions and company. I'll still need to get some more clothes, but I guess it's a good start.
Jon and I have also got a few things for baby. We got a few onesies that will work for a boy or girl, and... none of them are yellow or green. It was exciting to get a few clothes for the baby, even though it wasn't much.

For those who've been waiting... sorry it took me so long, but here's a picture. 23 Weeks Along

woo hoo!!!! you look very cute, and your eyes look really pretty. Abigail LOVES mangos! So she would love baby williams! Of course I'm sure they met a little over 10 months ago and had a blast together! I can't wait to see you this week and then in another 2 weeks!
Also...Josh and I would love to take part in the hiking with Jon...and hopefully you and baby Williams!

Lets clarify that Abigail does in deed love mangos but wouldn't love to eat Baby Williams.

do you use your belly as a table or arm rest yet? it happened to me without even knowing.

I still like wearing my maternity shirts to bed because it's so comfy.

Kaylee likes to climb things also so maybe we can get Uncle Jon on the fast track of teaching her.

Ryan needs to go hiking for scouts, anytime Jon wants to drive up here and take a hike! I know I'm not gonna be taking him!!!

You look so cute! Love the pregnant belly! Seems like baby is growing strong and big!
