We were back to the doctor today for our monthly check-up. I really like Dr. Sonn, she is great! She said that Mommy and me are doing wonderful and we are both very healthy. I was feeling a little playful at the doctor's office. When they were trying to listen to my heartbeat, I kept wiggling away from the doctor. It was funny! She kept trying to find where I was--kind of like playing hide and seek. They were finally able to listen to my heart when she found me in my favorite place--at the bottom of Mommy's tummy. I have been having a lot of fun lately! I think Mommy and Daddy are making a special present for when I am born. Just 4 more months!!

Mommy and Daddy got to see me again today! They could not believe how much I have grown since they last saw me in November!! I already weigh 1 lb. and am the length of a banana. I was being a little difficult while the sonographer was trying to show them my face. I just really like to play with my hands and suck my thumb. They also got to find out if I am a boy or girl. Most of Mommy and Daddy's friends thought I was going to be a girl, but I am a boy!!! Daddy is so excited...he is already talking about playing baseball with me. Mommy must have known all along that I am a boy because she always referred to me as "he" and "little guy." I have been having fun tumbling around in Mommy's tummy. She feels me kicking all the time and sometimes even pokes me back. I like it best when she rubs her tummy. It's fun when I hear everyone talking to me; I am even getting used to hearing the dogs bark. Daddy has been helping Mommy a lot by getting the house ready for when I come home. Soon, they will be getting my room ready for me.....only 4 more months to go!!!!
