Falling

I have to admit, I am falling behind here in keeping you all updated! I haven't posted a belly picture in over 5 weeks, and there is definitely a change! I am definitely feeling the Little One kicking and flipping in there. It's so nice to have a little companion again. Feeling those little kicks in there makes everything more fun. Even going to work is more fun because I know I get to take him/her with me. I've been enjoying the moment right before I fall asleep, because I am still and can really feel those movements. They aren't strong enough yet to keep me awake or make me uncomfortable. Give 'em a couple months though! In a way it's hard to believe that I will be able to love a baby like I love Madelyn, but I am beginning to understand how it is possible. I am really starting to bond with this one. The further I get in the pregnancy, the more excited I get. I have dreams about the baby...mostly about being in the hospital and breastfeeding. But in every one of my dreams, I am asking Gregg how the labor was and all the details about how long I pushed and everything, as if I wasn't even there for it! In these dreams, he answers something like "Yeah, it went very well." :) I wish all my dreams were about the new baby. I feel so good when I wake up after one!

We have been talking to Madi about the baby in Mommy's belly. She kisses my belly, and when we ask her where the baby is, sometimes she pokes my belly. But for the most part, I don't think she has a clue what we are talking about! She loves her baby dolls, and I just think she is going to be a great big sister. It will be weird seeing her in a new role, and I feel a little sad that she won't be the center of attention anymore, but I am sure she will adjust.

Since before we even thought about trying for kids, we picked the name Benjamin Curtis for a boy. Curtis is Gregg's middle name and his dad's first name. We have a couple girls names picked, but aren't so sure about any one of them. I guess we will have to find out the sex of the baby, and then decide.

We took a bunch of belly pictures last week, and I was going to post them but I guess I should take new ones now. I am really going to try to post them by Tuesday.
