29 Weeks...

Where does the time go?!  I'm sure I'll be saying this for the next 18 years for the rest of my life, but it's really amazing how quickly it all flies by.  Now fully in our 3rd trimester, I just want to take this opportunity to quickly document a few things.

- I love feeling our little boy kick. and punch. and roll around, or whatever strange things they do in there.  It's funny how that weird "alien" stuff makes me smile.  And I love that Mass gets to be part of it now too.  Every night he gives our son a little rub down, and he always gets some fun karate chops in return.

- I feel a sense of worry (what's new), that I'll actually feel sad, or have a sense of loss once I'm not pregnant anymore.  It sounds ridiculous when I say it, and even more so when I write it for everyone to see, but it's true.  Obviously I'll be thrilled to meet our little bundle of joy, but I never thought I would really enjoy being pregnant as much as I have.  (I'm fully aware that this could also change in the coming weeks!)

- I feel like I should be listening to more classical music, eating more blueberries, and talking to our baby boy more often.  I realize this is a super random list, but I've been told that the classical music and blueberries help brain development.  I've made a conscious effort to do both, but not as much as I would like.  As for talking to him, I don't know why I haven't done this.  I want him to get used to the sound of my voice, but I honestly feel a little silly talking to my stomach.  Mass has done a much better job of this. :)

- I hope baby boy likes our new house, the stuff we're picking out for him, our parenting style, and being part of our family.  I hope he's healthy, and happy, and gets to spend lots of time with his wonderful grandparents, great grandparents, and his super cool aunt & uncle (and of course his awesome little dog, Mahoney).
