Baby Bloggin'

So I bought a baby journal almost a month ago but I bought it because I liked the cover and the title was cute "To my Baby with Love" but then I got home and started filling it out and the questions just weren't what I like...so I need to get a new one and start over! I was so on top of it too :( That's ok though because I love looking back and thinking about the whole experience. I know some people have really hard pregnancies or just plain hate being pregnant but I've been lucky enough to have a great one!

It is so great having a name to call the baby even when he's still in my tummy tum tum. Leopold Neal Francis...Baby Leo. It's probably all in my head or pure coincidence but ever since I've been talking to him using his name he is so much more active and his little kicks and punches are getting bigger and bigger everyday! I love feeling him inside me move and it makes my heart flutter to think that I'm lucky enough to be his mommy :) I looooooooove when Tim talks to my tummy and has the biggest smile on his face. Being pregnant (when it's planned) makes you fall in love even deeper with your spouse I think and in a whole new way! I can't wait to see Tim with him...he's going to be such a good daddy even if he's scared to death at first! He hasn't held a baby since he was 8...20 years ago!

I'm so excited that our church is having an "Expecting Parents/Toddler Parents" mixer this Friday so we can all get to know each other. It's going to be a big pizza party and we all bring ingredients to share and have fun. Being the only pregnant person in a church is so exciting because everyone wants to talk to you haha. It's such a nice way to get to talk to some of the older folks too because they get so excited that they get to go through the experience with us even if it's just on Sundays. I can't wait until Leo gets to go to RE on Sundays and participate in the activities. It just so silly to think that in a few years I'll probably have the kid up front that talks the whole time during the children section of the service!

The only down point of being pregnant is this sleep thing...I'm starting to get bigger and the whole sleeping thing is just starting to get annoying because no position is comfortable and once I do get comfortable I have to get up and pee anyways! In the last week Leo went from being a night owl to a morning glory and I've been getting up by 7 everyday! Not that this is that much earlier than normal but on a Sunday I'd love to get to sleep in until 8:30. If this is the worst of it though I'm so lucky so I'll try only to complain to Tim to make him feel sorry for me and dote on me ;)

Only 19 more weeks before my baby boy is here!
