Miracle Movements

What is that lump?  Butt? Head? Knee or elbow?  All of the bumps and movements are so amazing.  I am loving this part of the pregnancy.  On the websites it states that the baby is getting fatter everyday.  I just love that.  They forgot to mention that he is building muscles like his daddy.  Hahaha.  Ben is such a strong little boy.  I'm so proud of his kicks and punches, we cheer him on when he goes crazy and twitches and moves.  The only thing that makes me a little crazy is the pressure he puts on my bladder, especially when walking Choppy and I'm 10 houses away from home.

If definitely feels better to lie on my side so he has room to float around.  It is so hard to describe what I'm feeling.  It's like waves and ripples when his hands and feet go across my tummy.  It gets real tight, then releases.  Sometimes he flips his whole body.  When that happens, I just have to take a deep breath, it is just so miraculous what is going on in my body.  I think women are so lucky to be able to bear children.  It is indescribable the love you have for someone you have yet to meet just from the bond you build during this wonderful time.  Labor, I know, will be another story.  :)  ha

I think it's Ben's butt making my tummy lopsided.  Sometimes my stomach contorts and it looks like he's going to break out of the left side of my tummy.  He also likes to kick me when I cover up my belly button.  I'm wondering if my belly button lets in light and I'm covering up his favorite light source??  Who knows?  :)

I was playing with my Pandora on my phone one day, putting it on Counting Crows radio.  Tyler introduced me to Counting Crows when we first started dating.  I just love the band.  Tom Petty came on the station.  I was singing Free Falling at the top of my lungs.  I noticed major movement from Lil Benjamin so I kept on singing for my little baby.  I joked around and started saying, "Benny loves Tom Petty." not really thinking that he would be able to call out to the Tom Petty gods, allowing him into our lives.  :)   From that moment on, there has been so many Tom Petty connections.  Here are just a few Tom craziness...  Every time we go on a car ride, Tom Petty comes on.  We watched a movie in Miami, This is 40, the kid was described as looking like Tom Petty.  Tyler was on the computer one day looking at events in Pittsburgh, the Tom Petty concert is going to be in Pittsburgh in June!!
