I realize that not everyone is a lover of baby bellies or pictures of the prego belly. Well, consider this your warning and enter this post at your own risk because the title says it all.

This July was our first ultrasound. Ben and I were super excited to see how Bear was growing and if it’s a he or a she. But BabyBear was in the midst of a serious nap and no amount of prodding or mama rolling could get the little one to uncross its legs. So for now, we are blessed with the knowledge that Bear is healthy and growing as expected.

According to baby’s measurements, mid July marks 19 weeks and 5 days.
