Baby kicks & Spider bites

I began feeling the baby kick last week. Most of the time it is just random little flutters, but today he either really enjoyed my chocolate malt for lunch or he doesn't like it when I squish him while I am sitting. He is very active, and I can feel him a lot more today. It is only when I am sitting though. I think that brings the total kick count up to about 10. With most of those being from today. I have a follow-up ultrasound tomorrow, so I will probably post some more pictures of the little guy soon.

Shad reports that he now will have another scar on his chin, but on the other side. He developed a boil like bump on his chin a while ago, and it was determined to be a spider bite. He said he finally had to go to the doctor to have it lanced and packed with dressing. It has since been repacked several times with the last to hopefully occur today. Hopefully, it will be healed by graduation so I don't have to see that ugly thing on his face. I don't deal with pus well these days. Overactive gag reflex. Otherwise, Shad is doing well, and the countdown has begun. Only 10 days left till we get to see him!!

How big is he now? A grapefruit?

Poor Shad! Did they say what kind of spider it was?

wow, shad didn't say anything about that when I talked to him Sunday. He sounded good. So did the ultrasound confirm the baby definately a boy?
