An active baby

So now that the craziness of Christmas and the holidays are over, I am left with a couple of things.  A husband trying to get his fourth deer, the weather getting colder, my belly getting bigger, and less than 4 months till our little one is due to make his/her debut.  At 24 weeks now, I am feeling regular baby movement and Jeff and a couple of other people have been able to feel Baby K's acrobatics from the outside.  That was by far one of the most precious family moments of my life.  At about 22 weeks, my husband and I were laying in bed and the baby started kicking what I thought was pretty strong.  I grabbed my husband's hand and quickly put it on my stomach,  and sure enough, Baby K kicked his hand.  It was such a great moment of closeness for all three of us.  I normally start giggling any time I feel Baby K move simply because it is a delight to me, and it never ceases to amaze me that there is a living person growing inside of me.  I love it.  Definitely the best part of being pregnant so far. :)

Though I truly do not know the sex of my baby, I have a sneaky suspicion that it is a boy.  I think the main reason why I think that is because growing up, babies were never girls.  I have with 7 brothers and so any time mom was pregnant, naturally it was assumed to be a boy.  I seem to be unable to get out of that mindset.  Though it will be a pleasant surprise if I do end up with a girl, I would love a boy just as much if that is what God has chosen to bless us with.

Well, my husband is home from work now as well and would like to have some dinner, so until next time, Happy New Year!
