Belly shot

No, my hair isn't dark now, I had actually been cleaning the house prior to this picture beng taken, so it was all back in a headband. As you can see, my belly appears to be growing at an alarming rate. I can't believe how much bigger I look today than I did just a few weeks ago. I am about 22 1/2 weeks now, just a little over half way there. At this rate, I fear that the little guy isn't going to be quite so little. I have been able to feel him move around for about a month now, but just today I felt what could only be kicks. He practiced his ninja skills for about 3 hours straight this morning while I was at work. It was quite a strange sensation compared to the small, gentle movements I felt before. It was almost like he had been tickling me from the inside, but today all that changed. Of course, he must have been sleeping this evening, so John still hasn't felt the little guy yet. I am pretty sure that will freak John out the first time.
