trapped within the bump

can you believe I am almost finished with my 2nd trimester! AHHH! last night jared and I were watching tv and there was a couple talking about how they could have a little one in 3 years or so. I looked at jared and was like, "isn't it crazy that we are going to have a baby in just 3 months!!!"

time is flying by, but i couldn't be more excited!!

now that i am 26 weeks, brayden is moving about as if he is doing everything he can to escape. no matter what time of the day it is, you will find him busily doing his thing. as exciting as it is to see him moving and know that he's ok, it's a little odd seeing your stomach move is such strange ways. yesterday i was home sick so lulu, callie and i were on the couch most of the day. i had lu laying her head on my stomach and she was quite disturbed when brayden decided to wake and woke her up as well. she didn't know what to think. every time she layed her head on my stomach, she received a good kick in the nose. i couldn't help but laugh!! with all the movement my attention was diverted from the tv to the bump. no lie....it looked like he was trying to push his way out as i was being kicked and punch punched all over the place. the feeling is quite unexplainable. it feels as though your on a roller coaster and dropped 200 ft. it's a very exhilarating feeling. my sister gets a kick out of it but after watching for a bit she gets a little freaked out over the whole thing.

with all his moving about, i think the funniest and most impressive part is how he will be sound asleep and once he hears music he goes nuts....especially when we are in church and the worship band starts playing. jared and i are convinced he is going to be a little rock star. i told jared i would love for him to be a musician but only under certain circumstances:
1. he must shower on a regular basis...none of this greasy business!
2. he is a boy....i will not be buying him jeans from the girls section. i refuse to have my son wearing tighter jeans than his mother (not that i wear tight jeans...but you get the picture)
3. not that it matters what he does, as long as he does it with great passion!!!

oh, the joys that await us! I can't wait!


at this rate, if this little boy has his way he will be breaking free before October 25th!
