One of the guys at work is waiting for his wife to give birth. She started having contractions 5 months into her pregnancy and has had them every day since. She was due on the 23rd of November and fancy that, it's late. Must be a boy since he was all for coming out early and now he's decided he's never coming out. Typical male! Another girl at work saw her sister's labour video. I think videos are tacky unless the movie is done respectively and very toned down. Who wants to see one of those anyway? It should only be for you and the child to see. I mean what is someone going to say when you ask them if they want to see it? No! Besides mothers were never meant to see that side of the coin if you know what I mean. Watching yourself in a vulnerable position and in pain and all is not what I think makes a great video for everyone to watch. The less people in the delivery room the better for me. Authorized personel only!

When I saw Becci I knew I was riding low. She sticks out like the baby is standing sideways in her belly and I don't show like her at all. It explained alot about my size. I was wondering if all the girls looked like me. Of course sitting on the couch makes you just as big as the next pregnant girl but when I stand up it's totally different. Becci's little one actually punched her stomach hard enough that I could see the foot action from across the table. It was like a little alien trying to get out. I'm thinking is that going to happen to me soon? It looks eerie.

More pictures! Here is Tracy and her best friend, Becci.

We have a soccer player here. He's been kicking every day now and mostly in the morning before I get up. I had my first dream about the baby being in my life and it was great. I was dressing him and Dave held him while we visited with my parents. He was chubby and wore a white sleeper with a bit of yellow on it. Everyone says I'm bigger but I don't see it. I sure feel it when I'm standing in a bank lineup though. I keep thinking I should buy that fold up seat at Lee Valley Tools to take with me to the bank.

The ultrasound at BC Women's Hospital was way better than my first ultrasound. They understand that you are human and that you might want to participate in seeing your baby while they do their jobs. Mom came with me this time and we got to see each part as she measured. They actually have a screen just for the mother to watch. The baby's legs were crossed at the ankle and it's facing my back. The baby is low and it's head is right down there. She had to scan really low to get it in the picture. It was the first time mom ever saw a baby for real on one. The heartbeat was good. I'm starting to feel a kick now and again. Most of the time I'm sure it kicks but I'm not used to it so I miss them in the daytime. I feel it at night mostly. I was told the baby is a good size and I'm still due March 25th. We both think it's a boy and Dave plays with me and says it's a girl then. We have this snapping match going on at the moment. I say it's a boy and he says it's a girl. Then we laugh at each other.

Here's some scans of the ultrasound pictures we got, for those of you who like to try your hand at impressionist interpretation.
