2008: The Year of the Baby

Happy New Year! We are expecting a fun-baby-filled year and so far January is no exception. With 10 weeks left in the pregnancy, baby preparations are in full swing. Becky's doctor's visits are now every two weeks rather then once a month. We've signed up for birthing classes, breastfeeding class and newborn baby care classes at the hospital. And last but not least, Kyle started prepping the walls in the nursery to paint.

Here is the 30-week belly shot. The baby is large enough that we can make out body parts. We can clearly feel two hard areas in the belly. We imagine one must be the baby's head and the other must be the butt, but we're not sure which is which. Also, Becky swears she felt a forearm or shinbone push up a few days ago. The baby is pretty active now. The kicks are stronger and we've found that Baby Meek really likes hot chocolate. One small cup and the baby really starts groovin!
