Just A Quick Update...
I just wanted to give everyone a little update on our little man Frankie. He is doing great all snuggled in there. He has been much more active and kicking up a storm now. I guess he was feeling kinda gloomy too from all the rainy days we have had, but now that the sun out he is ready to move! I still can't believe how wonderful I am feeling. I have so much energy and have to remind myself to not over do it! It is so hard though! I have to be honest once this little guy gets here I am kinda going to miss this big round belly. Frank thinks I look so cute...which is a big suprise. It is nice to have a portable table too! :) I just can't get over how blessed we have been this year so far! So much to be thankful for! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week and we will send a little sunshine your way!

Doctor Visits...
Call me crazy, but I have never minded going to the Doctor or even the Dentist. I have enjoyed it actually now that I am pregnant. I love going in and seeing how he has grown and hearing his little heartbeat. Who knew something so small could be so wonderful.
Well today was not a fun doctor visit. I have had a relatively easy pregnancy...trust me I know how much of a blessing that is!! Today I went in to have my glucose screening and just a regular check up. Apparently one of the fun side affects of drinking the sugar solution is that it makes the baby kick like crazy on a sugar rush...or it is supposed to. Our little one only kicked one time the whole time I was at the office. Being that this is my first baby I didn't know that I should feel him move everyday. Well the doctors are all concerned because when they asked me I told them that some days he won't move at all and then others he will kick. Well who knew this would send them into a tizzy. I immediately got hooked up to the heart monitor which showed his heart rate is all over the place; and now have to take it easy and count kicks till our next appointment. Of course they tell you not to worry right before they tell you ...now if you don't feel him kick all day you need to get to a hospital ASAP. How can you not worry after hearing that!
I am trying very hard not to worry. Everytime I feel even the tiny flutters it calms me, but I just would like to ask for prayers to get this little guy moving more. I can't believe I am asking for people to pray that I get kicked, but we need them. I am thinking (all of your mothers out there can tell me if this logic is accurate) that if it was serious they would have sent me to the hospital or kept me there at the clinic. Please tell me I am right in thinking this!! I could use the reassurance now!

Baby Kicks...
Baby Jamison, Shannon and Grandma Pam!
So I haven't really been feeling good lately hence no posts. Something you never read about in pregnancy books is how crummy your immune system gets! I have been sick for most of the past two months and I never usually get sick! However there are only 98 days to go and I can see the light!
The big news is our little "Dash" aka Frankie is kicking!!! I love it! He has been kicking for awhile and I just sit for hours talking to him and feeling him kicking away! It is an AMAZING FEELING! He has started to give me stronger kicks and it is funny to watch my belly move! Frank was finally able to feel his son kick the other day. He made the cutest face...he was so amazed! He kept asking is that really him. I think fatherhood is starting to be an exciting idea to Frank now verses the "scared to death" idea it has been since he found out! He has been a good sport...they even have some matching outfits to sport later! :) I thought Frank would never let me do that!
Lets see....some other big news....my cousin Shannon finally welcomed her son into the world! He is such a cute baby!!! So huge...he was 8lbs 20 oz and 20 inches!!! He looks so much like her too! I can't wait to meet him! Our family just keeps getting bigger and bigger! I don't know how we keep up, but I know that my Grandparents really enjoy having all these grandchildren and great grandchildren around! I am so glad our son will have the same fun experiences with all kinds of cousins like I did! I wish we were closer, but still how wonderful to be from such a large family!
I hope everyone is have as wonderful a month as we are! So many blessings this year!!!
