Movements

I am feeling this little boy move all over the place and it is the most wonderful feeling! There is no way to really explain it!! I have been waiting for Steve to be able to feel these little kicks and movements. Well, he finally felt them on Friday night. It seems every other time I would have him put his hand on my belly, he would stop moving. So he was moving a lot and when I had Steve put his hand there, it took a matter of maybe 30 seconds and our little boy moved just right or did a little kick for his daddy!!! I was just so excited for him to finally feel him. There are so many things I can't explain to him so for him to feel the baby, even from the outside, meant so much to me.

Week 26 is here and all of the sudden I feel like time is flying! My belly is definitely getting bigger and I feel better because you can actually tell I am pregnant now and it's not questionable. :-) I am feeling so good right now as I am in the 'happy middle months'! I have a little bit of heartburn but to me, that a much easier to deal with than getting sick!

Still no names picked out... It is really hard to decide on the name! If I am having a hard time deciding on this, I don't know what I will do when there are other major decisions. YIKES! :-) I'm starting to think we won't have a name picked out until he arrives because we really cannot agree on a name. But, maybe that is the best so we can see him first and then know what he should be named.

January has flown by for us and we are excited to experience what happens next.

2009 is the year!

We finally rang in 2009! It wasn't too much different for us as far as what we did this year...didn't make it to midnight again! Now we are wondering if we will ever be able to stay up. Sure we could put the baby to bed for 2010 but we both are exhausted by the end of the day now. I hope we both get some energy this year that we once had.

We of course are looking forward to what this year will bring us! Hopefully a healthy baby boy in May (which doesn't seem too far away now! - YIKES). We both hope to be the best first time mom and dad that we can be. It will be all so new and exciting with I am sure it's share of exhausting and frustrating moments, but we are ready to have our own little family. We also hope that this family of ours can be together in Mt. Vernon. I know it will be hard to be away from my family, especially at a time I may need them the most, but it's been a getting harder with Steve driving back and forth and I know he wants to be with us once this little boy arrives. So although it will be sad to leave, we want to have our family all together. With all that is going to come our way, we are ready and thrilled to see what happens. God has a plan for us and we trust him with every step of the way.
