5 Months 2 days (23 Weeks!)

The baby is now about 11 inches long and weighs just more than a pound... about the same as a mango (sure feels there's more than that in there though). A week from today we'll see the doctor again. Looking forward to finding out what comes next.

Am feeling some bumping around in there too. Not very often, usually in the morning when I'm sitting at work or after dinner. Just a couple times a day. Tickles a little.

Hip pain has gotten a little better... it has its days. I've noticed it has a lot to do with how I sleep so I'm making more of an effort to position my pillows properly. Energy has been pretty good most of the time, but when I get home from work, I tend to want to just relax and spend time laying on the floor with the belly.

Sorry about the skipped week. We're almost done getting the basement finished and have been working hard on final touches before our final inspections tomorrow! Very excited for that! It's also been a rough, emotional, stressfull week at work... and it's only Wednesday. But I guess it could have been worse. I think we're all just looking forward to moving on.

On a more upbeat note, I'm very excited for Brent who got his incentive flight with the SD Air National Guard in an F-16 today over Pearl Harbor! Chris got to send him up and everything... wish we all could have been there. Congratulations, Bud! You deserve it!

Next to come... belly pictures? We'll see.
