Thoughts

First, I want to express my deepest sympathies to the families and friends of the victims at Virginia Tech. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I know it's been a while since I posted and I know I promised pictures. Said pictures are in Mr. S's computer and I need him to show me where to get those so I can post them online. At this point, I probably should take a fresh picture of my profile because I know I've gotten bigger.

Baby has been VERY active in the last few weeks...with this last week getting kind of painful actually. I'm beginning to think he's going to be a tai-bo instructor when he grows up. He likes to start out the day by punching and head banging in my low abdomen. Usually by the afternoon he switches to kicking the top of my belly (he just kicked again...must be agreeing with me). The evening is usually a combination of punches and kicks, although usually it's kicking. I'm fortunate though because if he kicks or moves in the night I haven't felt it yet. I'm hoping this means he doesn't move around much because he knows night time is for sleeping (hey, a girl can dream right? Especially when baby's father slept through his first night home from the hospital so I know it can happen!).

We are coming closer to selecting a name. We've got the middle name set but the first name we're still debating. There's one name in particular we both like but we're each taking our time and thinking it through before deciding it's The Name for our son. We've got time to decide yet! :)

Showers are being planned as we speak. Our wonderful, fantastic and gorgeous mothers are planning one in Central IL for mostly family and a few friends in the area. I have a couple friends up here though who decided I needed another shower for friends in this area so they're planning one for next month. I'm getting spoiled! :) I should probably take a look at my registries and make sure there are enough options on them. Although, I'm at a point where I don't really want to register for too many clothes because people will buy things regardless and same goes for toys. So, with a few exceptions (i.e. the Tonka truck Mr. S insisted that every boy needs) our registries are mostly necessities. We'll see what happens though...I keep thinking I need to register for more socks for some reason.

I'll try to update again later (but not too much later!). If I'm really good I'll get pictures of my belly online too! ;)
