Tucker the Turkey & Other Stuff

Alright, this little boy is being a little Turkey! He is kicking all of the time now. He is also VERY particular about the way that I sit. I have to wear the full panel maternity pants because if there is anything sitting too low he just pushes against it trying to move it or something. He also hates it when I sit on the couch and then lean forward. He just kicks me repeatedly until I move. Apparently it's not what he prefers. The other day I told David that he was doing it so David said, "Then don't sit forward." I replied to David saying, "Well, we both have to make sacrifices for comfort at this point. Sitting like this makes my back feel better." Then David said, "Wow, you're trying to reason with a baby that isn't even born." It was funny. It's just so interesting how this baby already has opinions. He's more and more like me every day. AGH! The topper though is that I will have my hand on my tummy and he plays games with me. He'll kick wherever my hand is. But as soon as I put David's hand on my tummy he he stops moving. I tell David that it's because the baby is stubborn, however David's theory is that Tucker likes him more than me and doesn't want to kick him. Either way, it's funny.
In other news, life is GREAT. David is still going strong at work and definitely learns something new every day. I enjoy hearing about different stuff everyday, and hearing the excitement in his voice. I love that he is so happy at his job. :)
I am just hanging out. My back is feeling better... YAY! This week I am going to hit up the fitness club down the road and see what all is there. I am going to California in August to watch my nieces and spend time with my family. In the same trip I am going to drive out to Vegas to see my other two brothers. I will get to see all of my family on this trip, and I am excited. They will all get to see me really pregnant in person. Let me just say though, I am SO grateful that both of my brothers in Vegas have Air Conditioning because it's like 1000000000 degrees in Vegas right now. I don't think I would go if they didn't! :) But I will also get to see my friend Seana. YAY!
Anyway, life is good. We are loving living in Salem. We are getting more and more excited for the baby to come. Whenever we see a little baby boy at church we get so excited. There is a cute little baby boy who's about 9 months old and David loves to make little faces with him. It's too cute! We are SO excited for November (and this time it's not just for Thanksgiving... hee hee hee).

Looks like you have quite the handful coming! Or maybe he will come out completely mellow. I mean, Katelyn was so mellow and perfect in there and now she is a monster. I love you and I am so excited to see you in a few weeks!
