It's official...

I've been feeling the baby move! I thought I've been feeling it for a few weeks now, but I haven't been sure. I read that if it's your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc... that you can feel it as early as 13 weeks. What an amazing feeling. I feel it a little everyday. I wish the baby was making enough movements and was big enough that Steve could feel it. What an awesome experience to have as a mother. To feel life moving around even before birth. That's my favorite part of pregnancy. I love to watch the movements the baby makes.


We'll find out in about 3 weeks if this is a brother or sister for Brady. I think he's getting excited. I know he doesn't really know what's going on, but he LOVES babies! He points to my belly and says "bab-b". And he gives the baby loves by putting his head on my tummy. He's going to be a great big brother!


I think we're pretty set for baby stuff this time around. Almost everything we got for Brady was gender neutral. Except clothes. If it turnes out to be a sister, we're going shopping!


After the baby comes, I think we're going to move Ryan (my brother) down to the basement, even though it's not finished, and make a big-boy room for Brady. We have a toddler bed from one of Steven's co-workers and we'll make it very boy-ish. Sports or trucks. We'll have to fix up the nursrey a little too. Brady found where the wallpaper border seam was (near his crib) and decided to tear it off. We'll have to fix it and make the seam further away from the crib. Luckily, they still sell it at Babies R Us. I also broke the mobile a few weeks ago by winding it up too much, time for a new one of those too... We still have a while to prepare. With my due date set for November 15 (I think I'll be induced the week of the 8th though), we'll have plenty of time to get everything set up just right.
And here's a picture of the belly. It was taken a few weeks ago and it's not a great one, I just haven't had time to get all cute and have Steven take a picture of me. I'll switch it with a better one when I get one taken.

I love when the baby kicks! I don't like it so much near the end, but It is a great experience to be able to feel that. That is way cute of Brady giving the baby loves like that! He will be a good big brother. I'm excited for you to find out what you're having! If only time would hurry! Cute preggo pic, I think it's cute!
