Today was the first time that little Laserbomb gave me a big kick!  It was pretty late in the evening and 2 quick kicks at the top of my belly.  Of course no one was around.  Then the next morning I was laying in bed waiting for Kailey to wake up and had a ton of kicks in my lower belly so I am pretty sure he was breech then.  Rob was at work and Kailey was asleep so it was just mommy and Laserbomb time

Within this past week I have only had one other big kick.  There are some days though that I can feel him moving all around.  Not sure if he is practicing somersaults or what but he is definitely a mover!

Kailey is getting more lovey dovey with my belly every day.  She rubs her cheek against my belly and and says,  “AWWWW”.  She says in this high pitched, sweet little whisper, “Hi baby, Hi!” She talked about how big my belly is getting and that her brother is growing up.  I just can’t wait to see how she will be with him.  She is already such a good big sister!

This is a video of me and Kailey one morning while I was trying to get ready

Today was my 5 month appointment with Dr Egan.  Told him I am feeling pretty good but Laser bomb is beating me up in there!

Heartbeat was very good at 158.  Dr. Egan said he is a happy baby :)

He went over the ultrasound and said everything looked good but that the kidney reading was off a bit.  The reading was 3mm which is normal but it said prominent and not abnormal.  Usually he said that the kidney would measure at 5mm if there were issues. He said there was no concern but they would do an additional ultrasound at 7 months to see how things are.

Of course I went right to google to see what the deal was.I found a lot of discussion boards that talked about how this was normal is boys and usually by delivery everything was fine.  So no worries for now.

I am still waiting for this baby to kick hard enough that Rob and Kailey can feel all his movement but for right now, it's just between him and me :)

Lately this little guy has been poking me like crazy all day long!  Still nothing to feel from the outside but what I can feel is sometimes painful.  He is one strong little guy!!!

Tonight we went for our 20 week ultrasound.  We brought Kailey again and also invited mom along.  The tech said she was going to get all the necessary pictures first and then would turn the screen for me to see.  Kailey was interested for about 5 minutes and then was over it.  Mom kept tilting her head trying to figure out what she was looking at.  A few times the tech also did this and gave out a few sighs.  The baby was moving a lot. So much that she was having a hard time getting pictures.  His heartbeat was between 144-150.  I don't think she could get an accurate reading since he was moving so much.

Earlier in the day my right side was really sore.  I asked if his head was over on this side. She said that when we started his head was down and butt was up.  By the middle of the ultrasound he was breech.

After all the readings she had, I got to watch a little.  His one leg was straight while the other was bent with his foot up by his business and he had a hand down there too.  His legs were all over the place.  The whole ultrasound took 45 minutes!

I asked about my due date and she said that according to my menstrual cycle, I am at June 22 which is 1 day earlier than before.  But he is still measuring big and thinking my due date is June 14.
