we now interrupt the series in progress for an adorable belly shot

Good morning, my friends! I've been working on the next post in my Becoming Catholic series, but this Little Bean (who is decidedly bigger than a bean right now, but until we know if it's a girl baby or boy baby baking in there, the name is Little Bean) is still running the show. I'm mostly feeling better (more energy, less nausea -- yeah!!), but still have the occasional bouts of sickness which tend to exhaust me and make my stomach feel as though it's been turned inside-out.

I'm 18 weeks tomorrow (May 4) and cannot believe I'm nearly halfway through this pregnancy!! This was taken about a week and a half ago, and I just got around to processing it. This one, I think, is what they call a keeper.

Love and hugs to you all, and thanks for your continued prayers and well wishes for the three of us (not the four of us, as one of us in this photo may occasionally contend -- I won't say who he is, except that he has facial hair).

P.S. A few more belly shots here.
P.P.S. Ultrasound is two weeks from Wednesday. Any guesses as to what we're having? Feel free to cast your vote in the poll at the upper right-hand corner of the blog!!
