22-23 Weeks

Diaper cake done by my stepMIL

Weeks 22-23 were busy.  Included in those 2 weeks was my trip to Lexington (remember, I posted my diary version of how busy the days were).  The two highlights of these two weeks were: James finally seeing and feeling the baby move and my first shower!  I had been feeling the baby move for a few weeks, but every time I would call to James the baby would either stop or he couldn't feel it.  But sitting out by the pool that Saturday, I caught his attention and baby gave a good kick or punch!  He could see it from about 4 feet away!!  Awesome!
My shower was amazing.  Hosted by members of James' family, it was attending by some of my favorite people in the Lexington area (a notable few were missing).  We are definitely blessed by our family and friends.  We got some great baby stuff!  Pictures are below.  Overall, it was a great couple weeks!

Opening gifts, you can kinda see the bump
