Belly and fruit series #1 (4 1/2 months)

Well, we're 15 1/2 weeks right now! So, about 4 months and 3 weeks or half way done. Time is flying! We realized the other day that our baby will be here before we know it! Alesha is feeling great, still doing a little climbing, and craving fruit all of the time.

We've included in this post a photograph of Alesha's "belly". You tell us...do you think she has one? Most people we know say that they do notice, but the strangers Alesha tells (like the clerk at the grocery store and the mechanic) can't believe she's 4.5 months pregnant! A few of our friends have told us they didn't really show until 5-5 1/2 months pregnant, so we may have to wait a little longer.

All of the pregnancy books compare your growing baby's size to a particular fruit. Apparently, right now the baby is about the size of a navel orange. You'll see in the photograph Alesha has an orange up to her belly-neat, huh? So, our plan is to photograph Alesha with the fruit du jour (or maybe month) for comparison purposes. Should be fun!

We have a sonogram coming up soon, so we'll try and post the image on here. We won't be finding out the sex of the baby, but we would love to hear your premonitions!

With love,

Alesha (+1) & Mike
