Hello My Baby! Hello My Darlin'!

WOO HOO!!!!  24 weeks and he's active like crazy! We had an OB appointment today and when my doctor put the doppler to mah belly we could literally hear him come closer and closer to the the doppler! His heart rate got louder and louder; we were all cracking up! It was just last Thursday night that I got to SEE Vanson moving around! It was FREAKY! Like something out of Alien... or better yet, like that scene out of SpaceBalls, where they're at that diner and the alien busts out of that guy's stomach and does a little ditty...

Ok, ok, so maybe it's not THAT bad. It's not as though he fully busted out... but boy is he trying:

Yes, that massive wasteland you see is in fact, MY belly.

He kicks at the very beginning.

Can you tell I'm already SO proud?

Before he tried busting out, I could actually feel him rolling around. Kris was on shift, so I tried to get video of him rolling around, but of course, he quit doing it once I started videoing. It is the weirdest feeling EVER! ... and it makes me so proud already! Although, with him being so active, what will that mean as time goes on and space is at a premium in there? 

Holy Crap that is F-R-E-A-K-Y

(please no stretch marks for me, please no stretch marks for me... PS: this is NOT mah belly)

On another note, we received word today that our offer we had on a short sale home with acreage was declined. We've only been waiting 5 months for an answer... So it looks as though our hunt continues for our home. I'm thankful we're not in a worse situation. It's not ideal for us to have our newborn in our current home, but you know what? We have a home, and for that, I'm grateful. 

And the gratuitous weekly photo... Daddy included this time...
