Well the fighting and tattle-tailing has already started and the baby's not even here yet! The other night Russell was laying across my lap, kind of resting on my belly. The baby was pretty active, and happened to hit/kick right where Russell was laying, so I told Russell that his baby brother or sister had just kicked him. With the most pitiful face you've ever seen, Russell looks at me and says, "Ow, that hurt me!" I said "Russell, you couldn't even feel it; I had to tell you it happened!" So his response was, "Well that wasn't nice of her!" I could not stop laughing, because he really had the most pitiful look on his face when he told me it hurt. :) But of course it didn't hurt him. Even though the baby's movements are getting stronger, they are still not strong enough to be felt outside my belly.
The baby is becoming a lot more active, and definitely has day and night mixed up...It's a party in my belly around 9:00 pm, and then rest most all of the day. And he/she is letting me know which foods are good. Blob really likes chocolate poptarts, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate ice cream...Notice a trend here? Mimi, watch out! You're going to have one hyper kid on your hands!
We go in less than one week to find out if it's a girl or boy, and I get more nervous and excited with each passing day. But at least we'll be able to know what to call it. Nana Jody doesn't like for me to refer to it as Blob so I'll stop doing that soon (maybe). Check back in about a week, as there will definitely be an update. If it will reveal anything is still up in the air, but I will at least let you know how the baby's doing. Take care!
