All is well in my belly! Just this morning our little boy was poppin’ like popcorn and (as usual) I tell Bryan, “if you want to feel your son pop like popcorn come put your hand on my belly.” I’m thinking that if I don’t move from the position I’m laying in then he’ll keep kicking around. So, Bry puts his arm over and his hand on my belly and….. NOTHING! Yes, that’s right, the story of this pregnancy (and maybe every pregnant woman), everytime I feel a ton of kicking, Bry puts his hand on my belly just in time for nothing. What’s up with that?!?
We recently went to Orlando and met some friends to see Kathy Griffin… Hilarious! They were asking all about the baby and if we had thought of a name yet, etc. Well, “Baby ‘E’” was our abbreviation for the name Ethan (which we really liked). However, we have yet to look in a baby book of names, so we wanted to keep our options open in case we found another name we really liked. Through sharing the name Ethan we discovered that we each thought the other was not sure about the name when, in fact, we both really liked it. SOOOO, it’s settled… our little boy’s name will be Ethan (unless he delivers and we decide he doesn’t look like an Ethan - haha). We have yet to agree on a middle name, so we’ll keep you posted.
Food cravings?? Well, I still haven’t had any major weird cravings, aside by the drive by Wendy’s which makes me think, “Mmmmm, Wendys!” BUT, I didn’t stop. However, I can always eat pizza! My lunches these days have consisted of either bagel bites (pepperoni pizza) or self-made English Muffin pizzas with Kraft Singles cheese and the occasional pepperoni slices on top. Pretty ridiculous, I know. Fruit, yogurt & granola also has been a delicious snack of mine…. Yummmm! Other than that, it’s my usual picky diet. I have branched out on some things since I got prego. I’m hoping Ethan won’t be as picky as his mother and maybe enjoy all kinds of food like his daddy ;-)
Already keeping a schedule… it’s interesting because Ethan already has a pretty regular schedule. He may stay up all night, I’m not sure (I think I blogged about that before). But, he’s still kicking like crazy in the mornings, a little bit after lunch, he may make a brief appearance after dinner, but then he makes his grand exit when I lay down to bed. In fact, his most “severe” kicking happens when I’m nice and relaxed in my cozy bed…. WHAM! It’s always a pleasant surprise. This week’s excitement was feeling Ethan’s hick-ups for the first time. I wasn’t completely paying attention at first, but I finally noticed that I wasn’t feeling a single leg or hand, but instead my whole stomach just shook like a little Belly-Earthquake. Then I noticed the rhythm… ohhhhhh (I thought) I think he’s got the hick-ups! It was very cool.
Oh, my belly button is about to disappear completely and the outty belly button is looking more and more likely. Yikes! In fact, it turns into a little bit of an outty when I’m really full.
