Hiccups

We're at 35 weeks this week. At Mommy's appointment Monday I was still in the head down position. I didn't really like the appointment though. When they went to find me heart beat I started kicking at the machine. Mommy and the the NP thought it was silly.
Mommy and Daddy are very proud of me. I am practicing my swallowing and breathing. How do they know this, well it's because I get the hiccups. I've been getting them almost every day for the last few weeks. I will also respond to Daddy's voice when he talks to me. He reads me fun stories.
Holly is getting ready for me to play. She will bump my swing with her nose and she puts her ball in my bounchette. I think that it will be a little while before I can play with her, but she'll be ready when I'm ready.
Mommy and Daddy are still busy getting things done for me. They only have a few more weeks to go. Most of the things on the list, if they aren't done before I get here then it should be ok. On Monday Mommy and Daddy went to their breastfeeding class. They learned all about feeding me. I'll make sure to let them know if they are doing things right;)
Only 5 more weeks to go!
Love always,

Exciting News!

I almost forgot, I got exciting news this week. On Saturday my friend Josiah was born. When Daddy told me, I got really excited and started kicking and wiggling around. I can't wait until we can play together. Since he's older than me he'll be able to show me the ropes:) Mommy saw pictures and he looks very happy. He has such a wonderful Mommy and Daddy. I can't wait to meet them either, but I guess I have a wait a few more weeks, at least I am having fun in Mommy's tummy.
Love always,

34 weeks!

We have a lot to catch up on. We missed our blog last week. Mommy remembered over the weekend and decided it was just as easy to wait until today and just do two weeks. On the 28th Mommy and Daddy got their pictures taken together with me in Mommy's belly being the focus. They had a lot of fun and will pick them up later this week. On the 29th Mommy and Daddy had lunch with their friends Ms. Amy and Mr. James. Mommy and Ms. Amy lived together when they were in college. They had a really yummy lunch and a fun time. I can't wait to meet them in person. Then Mommy and Daddy went to see Uncle Paul, Bubbie and Pop-Pop in Frederick. Uncle Paul showed Daddy and Pop-Pop how to play games on his Wii. They sounded like they were having a lot of fun. On the 31st Mommy had a doctor's appointment. She got her official labor instructions, and when they checked on me they said I was head down. Yea! I do kind of like using Mommy's bladder as a water pillow. He-he. Mommy's next appointment will be next week, and then she will go every week until I make my grand entrance. Isn't that so exciting.
Last week Mommy and Daddy were busy getting ready for company. Gramma and Pop came up for a visit on Thursday. We have been having lots of fun. On Friday we were shopping at the outlets and then went out to dinner. Uncle Paul came too. We playing trivia games, they sounded like they were having fun. I got so excited I kept giving Mommy reflux:) On Saturday they spent the day in Winchester, they did some shopping there too. Then they went to Great Uncle Dennis and Great Aunt Christy's house for a graduation party for Chris. He will be going away to college soon. We got to see lots of family including Great Grampa. I'm getting so excited about meeting everyone. On Sunday we got to see Uncle Mike, Aunt Cindy, Michael and Susie on their way to the mountains. We are going to have a lot of fun playing when I am born. Then we went to the movies to see Hairspray. I really liked the music. Mommy took me to see it on Broadway in April, and I really liked it then too. Mommy says that she will put the music in my icrib so that I can dance to it:) Sunday we also toured the Family Birthing Center at the hospital. That is where I will be born. Daddy is worried that he won't know where to go to get Mommy there, but she's not worried. Yesterday Daddy and Pop put together a new bookshelf for my room. It's a little bigger than my other one, and now I have more room for my books. I love it when Daddy reads to me.
That's our updates. Only 6 more weeks to go! Time sure is flying.
Love always,
