Cayden’s Latest Photo Shoot

I had another ultrasound on Friday and got to get another peek at precious Baby Cayden. My parents were in town this weekend and they went to the ultrasound with me. As you can imagine, this was very exciting for them. They’ve only seen ultrasound pictures and seen the ultrasound DVD. There is something extra special about being able to watch the baby live and in action. My mom was a weepy mess—it was beyond adorable.

I am happy to say that he wasn’t being as stubborn during this ultrasound as he has in the past. We were able to get some really good pictures of him this time. He is also proving to be quiet the gymnast. He was literally bent in half with his toes touching his forehead. What a nut! He is already so entertaining –I can’t wait until he is out and about in the world.


I can’t believe there is only 18 weeks left in my pregnancy. It is going by so fast. Every day I look and feel more and more pregnant. Cayden is making himself more known to us everyday too. His kicks are getting stronger and more frequent by the day.

I can now start really sharing this pregnancy with the people around me. Cayden’s kicks are strong enough to be felt by other people. Chad starting feeling kicks last Saturday. They are subtle and you really have to concentrate to feel them, but they can definitely be felt. Both my mom and my dad were able to feel his kicks too. It’s so exciting. I can’t wait to start seeing body parts move across my belly—it’s gonna be freaky and awesome. I can’t believe there is a person inside my person. Life…it really is miraculous.
