Baby Bump

I'm getting quite the baby bump with this one.  So far, my weight has mainly been in my belly, which I'm hoping will make for a quicker weight loss after the birth.  It could also be why I have been having quite a few flare ups with my sciatica pain.  Anyhow, here is my bump at 29 weeks.  Just a little over two months to go.  Starting to feel very real now.... (Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!!)



PS - I'm back to thinking the baby is a boy.  Chad is kind of thinking this way also now.  I'm so bad with guessing, though.  Early on I thought boy, then for the later part of the 1st trimester and most of the 2nd trimester I thought girl, and now I'm back to boy.  Just glad we have names picked out either way :)

Preacher Baby

We are convinced I am carrying a preacher with this pregnancy.  It is the complete opposite of Meredith, who was our music baby.  Here is why we have come to this conclusion:  This baby does not make much, if any, movement during the worship songs at church on Sunday morning.  However, when Pastor Baker gets up to speak, watch out!  My belly starts moving in all kinds of directions.  We noticed this very early on in the pregnancy and it's quite hilarious.  On the other hand, Meredith was a mover and shaker when it came to the worship music, which can mirror a rock-style concert in our church, though I don't remember her moving much with the sermons.  What's so funny is that even now, Meredith will stop whatever she's doing at times and dance to music that's on TV, the radio, or that we are singing.  Who knows, maybe this is the next John the Baptist, or Joni the Baptist (if it's a girl) :)
