Nine months can feel like
FOREVER. Turns out, I'm not a super patient person with high tolerance for waiting. I'm also not a big fan of being pregnant; I'd rather be done with this pregnancy nonsense and get on with the getting to know the baby. However, I also would like a fully-baked baby, so... we wait.

Happily, there are little milestones that come along with some regularity, so that the waiting seems less interminable. Like, check-ups that finish with my taking a picture home. Those are pretty fun. We went in for the 20wk ultrasound a while back but, as it happens, Moon was feeling uncooperative that day and the technician wasn't able to verify that there were, for sure, two arms in there. So, back I went, just to be sure.
This time around Moon was feeling more accommodating and now we know there are, indeed, two arms in there. However, this time around, the baby didn't feel like turning a profile. So, while I did get to see an entertaining amount of wiggling, I didn't get to bring home any cute pictures as a consolation prize. Still, only four more months of waiting.. better than nine, yes? Moving right along.

Hurray for having 2 arms!! (Cuz The Arm, which arrived at my house yesterday is no substitute.) 9 months is a long time. Except that the first half is longer than the second half, maybe because you get to do fun things like get out the baby clothes in the second half, and set everything up. Hang in there - a boring pregnancy is a good thing!!
Hehe.. true true. I do enjoy feeling the wiggles, and that gets more noticeable as we near the end. I'll survive I'm sure :)
Better than half way done, yay! Feeling wiggles is fantastic!
