5 Months Along - Halfway Mark


We took a trip to Haddon Hall, where they filmed The Princess Bride.

Now that I'm at the 20 week mark, the baby is almost as long as a sheet of paper (head to foot) and has been stretching and moving around constantly. Make your predictions on the baby's sex - we go in for the final ultrasound on October 8th!

Ahora que estoy en la semana numero 20, el bebe esta casi tan largo como una hoja de papel (de la cabeza a los pies) y se ha estado estirando y moviendo constantemente. Hagan sus apuestas ahora - vamos al sonograma final en el 8 de Octubre a ver que sera - un varon o una hembra.

19 weeks


Lentil has been moving around like crazy and this morning he/she shoved his/her whole body outward so that I could feel about a good four inches of the baby from the outside. Even Pedro has been able to feel some of the movements (which of course, aren't as dramatic as I'm sure they will get).

No tengo una foto nueva todavia; la voy a poner esta semana. Pero tengo unas noticias - el bebe ha estado moviendose mucho - especialmente esta manana cuando me empujo con todo su cuerpito y yo lo podia sentir (casi cuatro pulgadas) con la mano afuera. Era como una piedra empujandose! Pedro tambien puede sentir los movimientos.

In other news, we are getting rid of the beater BMW for a 2002 Volvo wagon. It's not a mini-van but it's definitely a family vehicle. We'll be able to fit the dogs in the back area, the baby in the back seat, and we'll still be able to sit comfortably in the front. The trip to Scotland with all of us in the car was cramped, to say the least (not to mention when family came to visit in March).

18 weeks


I had another appointment with the midwife today and everything looks fine. My uterus is now past my belly button. I wore this shirt to my first appointment at 6 weeks and haven't worn it since, so it really surprised me to see how much I've grown when I put it on this morning.

In just three more weeks we find out if it's a boy or a girl. I dreamed that I did an ultrasound on myself and it was a boy :) We'll see!

Tuve una cita con la comadrona hoy y todo se ve muy bien. El utero ya sobrepasa el umbligo. Yo
use esta camisa en la primera cita (6 semanas) y no la use desde entonces hasta hoy. Me dio una sorpresa a ver cuanto ha crecido la barriga cuando me vesti esta manana.

Solamente en tres semanas mas, averiguaremos cual es el sexo del bebe.

London - Lentil likes Thai food!

17 Weeks to the Day

Pedro made me get out of bed for this :).
It always surprises me when I see my belly in a photo.

Papa, Mama, and Lentil in the Scottish Highlands.
Lots more energy for hiking up mountains, and no nausea!


Can you see him with kids? :)
