Babies are Crazy!!

So tomorrow I will be exactly three months shy of my due date! The summer's gone by really fast, and I'm having lots of fun being pregnant. I hope the next three months are just as enjoyable. I felt the baby move for the first time (or rather I recognized what I'd been feeling for a while as baby movement) about a month ago, but it's never moved as much as it has today! It's started pushing on different organs making me flinch and groan a little. If you're wondering why I'm calling my baby "it", it's because we don't know whether it's a boy or a girl. So I know it sounds bad, but I don't know how else to refer to the baby. Ben always says "he" and I have to keep reminding him that it could be a "she".

This is not a Journal

I realized as I sat down to write this post that this blog is not a journal. I had planned that I would be able to just write like I do in my personal diary, but people might read this! So I can't vent about fellow employees at work or complian about my body aches! It's so wierd how inhibited I am when I know someone might see what I so ackwardly put into prose. The bummer part about this is that now I have to write in my journal and on this blog!

Happy news though: My brother Craig, his wife Alaina, and their 1 1/2 year old daughter are here visiting from Wisconsin! They will be staying until next Saturday! I didn't realize how much I missed them until they came back! Now I keep thinking of ways we can see them more while they're here.
