Rollin'

I'm not a kicker, I'm a mover. You can feel parts of me pressing against Mama's tummy. Good luck in identifying what part of me you are feeling. Sometimes its a limb and I'll move it. Sometimes its a butt and will stay where it is like I'm sitting in my favorite rocker. I'm stubborn like my siblings and am already giving Mama pains...back pains. I'm as heavy as a basketball, but don't try to play hoops with me just yet, I'm not sure I'd fit through the hoop.

My big sister's birthday is today. Happy Birthday sis, but your day won't compare to my big day coming in August. I hope you like me as much as you like pretending to be a baby. I know that you are just warming up my spot for me. Big brother Ollie is excited to see me too, I hope I can live up to his expectations as being like Abby. He loves her, I hope he loves me as much. We'll find out August 7th when the competition for parental attention is divided among 3 instead of 2.

Hi Eli

Ollie, Tori and I put up the letters of Eli's name next to his bedroom door. Ollie is impressed that Eli's name has the same letters as his name. Both of them have been talking to Eli in the womb, and last night, Huts finally got to see Eli move big time. Now he knows why I groan so much. This child is not nice when he moves. He is running out of space quick.

All Is Well

Last time, I measured big and Eli weighed a lot. This time around, I am right on target, which means Eli weighs within the normal range. All of the fuss about gestational diabetes has been for naught. They checked my blood sugar after a meal and it was fine. The countdown to August 7 has officially begun! Eli is running out of room fast and giving me fits.

Back In Action

After experiencing the flu with Mom and moving little on Monday, Eli was back to his rambunctious self on Tuesday and kicked like a storm. He has been moving ever since. This little guy will be ready to meet the world on August 7, if not sooner.
