Dad finally felt me move!

The other night Mom went to bed, but I wasn't quite ready yet. I'm a little cramped in this small space, but I've figured out a way to do summersaults. So I was doing them over and over and over and over. Then suddenly the space was gone!! So I took my elbow and pushed really hard on the hard spot. And it pushed back! So I pushed back. Then I heard this noise, "Did you feel it?" Yup, that was mom's voice. Then I heard, "I do feel it!" That was dad's voice. Then the hard spot was gone and I was able to do my summersaults again.

I also think it's funny that my sister likes to lay right on top of me too. She'll lay right across me, which makes it really dark in here. She's not very nice, either. She kicks and pushes. Just wait until I'm out of here, I can't wait to kick and push back on her!

At my mom's last check up, she had lost weight. But the doctor seems to think that is okay. And I'm measuring two centimeters smaller than I should, but the doctor doesn't seem concerned with this either.

July 29th is fastly approaching!!!! I can't wait to get out of here and stretch out my legs!

Seven Months

I'm seven months in... A few more to go and I'll be making my big entrance into the world. Since my big sister decided she wasn't ready to come into the world, she forced my mom to have a C-Section. The doctor group won't let my mom attempt a VBAC (vaginal birth after C-Section) so she has to have another one with me. They gave her four possible dates to choose from - July 23, 24, 29 or 31st. My parents talked it over and the 29th is the best day to give my dad the most days off work to spend with my mom, sister and of course ME! So they are going to try and get that all set up.

So it looks like I will be born on July 29th! (Unless I play the rebel role and decide to come earlier!)

I also decided to give my mom a break from all that throwing up. So I stopped pushing that button that says in big bold letters, "DO NOT PUSH." And she's not gotten sick in almost two weeks! She's much happier now. And even though I've got that big ol' placenta thing in front of me, I'm getting bigger now so she's finally starting to feel me. Dad hasn't been able to feel me yet, but the doctors said that's normal since that ugly placenta thing is in front.
