Mommy and I agree this seems to be taking FOREVER! Although 7 months sounds exciting we still have 3 months left which sounds like forever. But Mommy says if we say 12 weeks it makes it seem more "soon"

I have found a new toy today, it makes mommy lightly jump now and then. I think it is her bladder? It is fun to kick although it doesn't sound like Mommy is enjoying it! I have been giving her a bit of other pain too...I think she calls them possible Braxton Hicks? Whatever they are they come and go and don't feel all that great but I guess that just means the day is getting closer then it seems to me meeting my family

I have gotten used to what Daddy feels and sounds like now. I used to shy away when he would come to feel me kick but now I give him a taste of the fun! The other morning Mommy was getting worried cause she really hadn't felt me move that much so Daddy put his hand on her belly and I showed him some love! Then he would move his hand and I just had to follow! I hear Daddy is already planning my wrestling and football career, maybe the kicking his hand is my "basic training"?

Still no cravings for Mommy and me, although we went over to grandpa Kent's for a BBQ yesterday and we had a cold Hershey's bar...that was AWESOME! We still like our Cherry tomotoes but not as much as we did before. Daddy said that I will be like Uncle Brandon (C.) and like tomatoes like him!

Mommy and Daddy are going to birthing classes in a month from May 11th to June 22nd. Cutting it a lil close to the due date but that was the only class available on Sundays. HOpefully if I decide to arrive early they will get the gist of what they need to know. Especially Daddy cause Mommy may not be that nice to him during the "delivery" process, or so I have heard!

That is all for now, we have a dr appt on Thursday so I will check back in then.

I love you all!

All was well at our check up yesterday! Mommy had to take the glucose test to make sure she didn't get diatetes and all came back good..swoosh! Also the dr FINALLY got the results back from the ultrasound and all arms, legs, fingers and toes are accounted for!!! At that time (Mommy was 41/2 months) I weight 10 oz. Other then that Mommy just gained a lot of weight this month and now is up to 17 lbs gain so far! The dr said that is good though Daddy went with us to this month's visit and he heard the heartbeat, at first he didn't know what it was, since he hasn't heard it since mommy's first visit. I tend to be stubborn at times and only kick for mommy so while they were  checking my  heartbeat I kicked to where Daddy could hear it too! We start going to see the dr. every two weeks now! I think that helps Mommy "think" it is coming faster!
I"m still kicking like crazy and harder a lil each time! Mommy and me  don't really have any more cravings just A LOT hungrier then we have been!

Mommy and Daddy finshed my room today!!! I can't wait. SPORTS!!!!

Gram Ford brought over the blanket she made for me it is SUPER cute...it has  jungle animals on it and I heard mommy and daddy say it was super soft!

 Mommy had Daddy give me a big kiss yesterday and said it was from my cousin Derrick. I haven't heard his voice but I know he means alot to Mommy. He is leaving for Iraq on Wednesday and he told mommy to give me a kiss from him,  Right back at ya Derrick, I love you!!!! Be safe and hurry home!

Until next visit this is Dylan...BYE!

Dylan here....thought I would fill you in on the new, fun things going on with Mommy Daddy and me! The other night I was kicking as normal (more like thuds) but I believe I'm starting to get stronger then I think cause I actually kicked and I heard Mommy AND Daddy say they seen me kick! I guess Mommy's stomach moved where I had kicked! We were all pretty excited...I'm showing signs that the time is almost here! Daddy likes to see me kicking Mommy hehe And Mommy likes feeling me to know that Im getting bigger and bigger! I'm moving A LOT more now!

Daddy has decided to change my name to Dylan Michael, although Allen would have been after him he has decided to name me after my Uncle Shawn. Mommy is slowly getting used to the middle name as she doesn't like it due to something with her Daddy? But she is willing to go with it as long as Im being named after Uncle Shawn! Daddy also likes the fact that my intials will be...(ready) D.M.C. I dont' get it but Mommy says that he is a dork  He says that when I'm wrestling that people will be cheering DMC, DMC DMC! ha ha..he is a silly guy but I love him!

Mommy and me are still craving our cherry tomatoes! Yumm...I think we have almost bought Walmart out of stock, or should have by now! Yesterday we were craving Macrooni Salad (Aunt Lori's receipt) so we bought the stuff for it and had it for snack last night and lunch today..yum! Other then that nothing new on the cravings front. Waiting to see what the dr has to report here in a few weeks. In the mean time this is Dylan...signing off!

Mommy has been quite stressed the past couple days so I have been trying to help her feel better by moving like crazy in here. I don't think she has ever felt me move this much and she is really happy about it, I just hope it makes her feel better :-)

Daddy has been talking to me more and more. He felt me move the other night, I had to show him some love too he needed some cheering up!! Feels like I have been in here FOREVER, starting to wonder if the time is ever going to come to meet everyone in person!

All my uncles are excitied to see me! Uncle Kaleb is super excitied, he is even talking about saving some of his shoes for me! Although my Uncle Shawn seems excitied too that I"m going to be his first Nephew, from the sounds of it I'm going to spoiled with love from all my uncles...even the great ones like Uncle Larry! Aunt Ashley and mom went shopping for me last weekend and she is also starting to get excited  Lots of family to meet, I can't wait!

Mom's baby shower is coming up on May 4th I think she said, cousin Jenni is throwing it! That means the closer it gets to the shower is the closer the time is for me to be here! Maybe I will pop out early?!?!?

That is all for this weeks up date, until next time ~ Dylan
