A Baby Update

I realize I haven't said too many details about this pregnancy so far. And that's because there's not much to tell except for how excited we are to be having another baby!!! I don't want to jinx myself but its been a pretty easy pregnancy. Baby Girl is due October 12th which seems so far away but that puts me at almost 27 weeks. We don't have a name picked out just yet but there is no way I am putting myself through the stress of what happened with Merrick. i AM going to the hospital with one name for her. I read that most babies are active at night when you are trying to relax and fall asleep. Not her. She is up bright and early kicking me each morning. It's the one time of day that I can count on being kicked and punched by her in several locations at once. Merrick finds it pretty funny to put his hand on my belly and push back when she is kicking us. Speaking of him, he is pretty excited that it's a girl. To him this means he has to share some of his toys but not all of them. It will be interesting to see how he interacts with her and the inevitable invasion of pink in our house! My cravings have been minimal but I do love cereal, chocolate milk, toast, fruit and string cheese. I seem to eat those things all the time! I still have my belly button...maybe for a few more weeks. The thought of it grosses me out every time. I am also starting to feel awkward when I try and stand. It takes a little extra effort to get up or reach for things. All I know is that Baby Girl can't get here soon enough! I wonder who she will look like?!
