Baby boy Bennett was bouncing all over during the ultrasound. He was very active and kept himself busy grabbing his feet, pulling on the umbilical cord, rolling and turning and constantly kicking my ridiculously full bladder. It was very fun to see. It seems like this baby will take after David and be full of energy.
Lately I'm feeling very pregnant and pretty uncomfortable. Actually I feel pretty good during the day, but at night it is hard to find a comfortable position, especially since I feel like I need to pee every 5 minutes (probably because the baby keeps kicking my bladder)! Who knew that while pregnant you can't lay on your back? Not only is it very uncomfortable, but if you lay on your back you squish an important vein (the inferior vena cava) and it stops blood and oxygen from getting to your baby. I'm a stomach sleeper and that is obviously out of the question. The best position to sleep in while pregnant is apparently your left side. So I try my best to sleep on the left as much as possible. Also my tummy kind of aches, which is normal I guess.
I've also been feeling the baby move more the last couple of days. It kind of just feels like a little tickling in my tummy and I love it.
Jasper's pinewood derby is tonight and he has been thinking of nothing but that for the last month. I had no idea what a pinewood derby was before Jasper. I thought it was some kind of boxcar race or, go cart race. So did my mom. Shows you what growing up in a house with all girls does to you. But that is about to change!

I knew it! Ok, I didn't really know, but I did guess correctly and so I shall give myself credit for something. Woo hoo! I love that my first is a boy. It's fun to watch them play the role of the protector. And I love Pinewood Derby! My you've missed out, but you're about to make up for lost time. Congratulations!
Congrats Michelle! It's so exciting when you find out what you're having and then you can just go crazy shopping!
I am such a stomach sleeper myself. I dread pregnancy for that very reason (among other horror stories I've heard). And bless that baby--he probably will have David's energy. And that's a scary thought at 2 years up.
I, too, am clueless about all things pinewood derby related. I had one brother and we made the poor kid play Barbies with us.
yay, congrats it's a baby boy. I hope you are getting your sleep now because if the kid pops out with David's energy you will forever be on your toes. :)
I would just like to say that i guessed it was a boy. I'm a freaking psychic.
