23.2 weeks

We are so excited that we will be 24 weeks on Saturday! I hear that 24 is the magic number in pregnancy's and can't wait for it to be here. I have some updates for everyone. I went to Maternal Fetal Medicine on Wednesday and got a real intensive ultrasound. It was AWESOME! We got to see the little guy moving all around. In fact he was so active that the tech said it was hard to catch him on film. She also said that he is very cute (I thought she had to say that to everyone but she reassured us that she doesn't say that to many people because some babies are not so cute in the womb) and photogenic. I had to agree with her. Guess all mom's think their kids are the cutest. Hopefully he'll be that cute after birth. I have seen some lookers and some not-so-much-lookers. GAZZZZILLLL...
The technician also downgraded the disorder from placenta previa to just a low lying placenta and assured us that by next ultrasound that they placenta should be raised two centimeters. She said she could have done a thorough measurment that day but then if she cleared me I wouldn't get anymore ultrasounds and she wants us to see this little guy as much as possible. I have been feeling great and have not spotted since Mother's Day so I am hoping all is well.
We are in the midst of moving and packing up the house. My doctor has given strict orders to take it easy and no lifting and I'll tell you it is hard but kind of nice not to do it all by ourselves. Aunt Minn has organized our friends to come and help pack up the house and we have been taking it night by night. I think we will be done by tomorrow. Our actual day to move is Sunday and I am glad we have one more week to put the last touches on everything. THANKS so much to all the people who have given of their weeknights and weekends to help us out. It is very much appreciated by our little family!
We also bought our new car. It is a 2003 Kia Sorento fully loaded. We love it. The only thing is it is quite the gas hog. Luckily during the summer I won't have to worry about driving 25 minutes to work. Only 10 minutes to Aunt Drak's house for the pool!! Well life is going well and we are so appriciative to all our families and friend's prayers that have surrounded us the past few months. We love and cherish everyone of you all and will keep everyone in our prayers. Bubba (the only name we are giving at this point) sends his kicks and love and Mike and I send our love and thoughts to all of you!
We love ya!!
Mike, Stace and our little man Bubba!

Becky, in answer to your text, we are starting at 8am on Sunday.

We'll try to get more pictures on the web. I look huge (in my eyes) It is kind of scary because I am only at the end of my six month and my ribs are already getting sore. I have three more months to go!
