busy, busy, busy

It's been a busy summer for our soon-to-be trio. We've done a lot of driving, travelling and back and forth. I think we've had less than 5 weekends in which we didn't have to at least 2 1/2 hours to some location outside of the city.

And it's been exhausting.

I think I  am in need of a week-long break from summer.

The little guy is  doing well. Lots of kicking to let us know he's around. The husband can now not only feel the kicks, but we can both see the belly move. It gives a little "pop" when he let's us know he's around.

Some interesting things I've realized:

• he definitely reacts to spicy food, I'm not sure if it's to say "ooh, me like that!", or if it's to say "stop feeding me this, can't you tell from m kicking?"
• sleeping on my stomach definitely causes him to let give me a good bump to let me know it's not very comfortable for him
• for some reason my laptop gets him going. I don't know if it's the heat or the pressure on the belly, but there is definitely a reaction (like right now, he's kicking tons!)

And if we're counting, we're down to 16 weeks. I can't believe we've passed the 24 week mark.  It still seems so far away, but it really isn't.

And isn't that a little frightening!
