Mover and a shaker!

Jillian - 22 weeks

In the past two weeks I have finally been able to feel the baby move!  He is very active in the evenings when I am propped up in bed reading one of the 15 pregnancy books I have piled next to me. :) I like to hold my breath and try to focus in on his flutters.  It is a pretty cool sensation!  

I have started in on my 9th season of singing at the Basilica of St. Mary in downtown Minneapolis as a 1st soprano in the Cathedral choir.  We have rehearsal every Wednesday night and last week when the whole choir started to sing a piece together for the first time, I almost started crying because it was the strongest movement (felt like crazy somersaults) I had felt from this little guy to date.  And the beautiful music that comes from all the talented singers in my choir is so overwhelming.  I always feel so humbled to be a part of such an amazing group of singers and individuals.  Of course at that moment I start envisioning that my son will grow up to be the next Chris Martin from Coldplay, since he obviously already has a deep-found love of music like his mom... :)

I am officially in maternity clothes all the time now and almost feel like they make me look bigger and more pregnant than I look in just a sweatshirt and sweatpants.  I keep getting asked when my due date is and I suddenly feel like January is a ways away....

I have taken a photo in the same outfit, standing by the same wall since I was 10 weeks along.  It is pretty crazy to see the changes along the way!  Here I am in my 21 week photo with my hair all done up for a banquet Eric and I were attending later in the evening!
 
Happy Hump Day!
