Weeks 26-31

It has been a long while since I wrote. Mostly because it has been busy at work AND Brinley Baby took his first trip to Japan. We were there for 19 days, and didn't really have time to post up a blog! So here are the belly shots since the last time we posted!
Weeks 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31!
(it's hard to compare because I zoomed in more on some than on others, but I think you get the idea! =)
This last one was taken yesterday. He sure is taking up all the space he can find. Can't believe we are down to 62 days left (2 Months from today!) Not quite sure how he is going to grow much more than this--but I guess he will find a way.
Baby has been having some routine in his movements the last few weeks. He moves every hour, which the doctor said is a very good thing. He loves to kick, we also feel his elbows and knees quite often. If you put your hand on it though--he will move it away--Daddy enjoys playing that game with him, see how long he can keep his hand on baby's elbow/knee.
The biggest thing we have noticed are how often he has hiccups. We thought maybe something was wrong with him because he will get them AT LEAST 2-3 times a day. It is fun though, when he has his hiccups because we usually can tell how his body is lying in the stomach based on where we feel the hiccups. One night he clearly did not enjoy his hiccups and so his head started at 6 o'clock (if you were starting at my stomach from the front) and he wiggled his legs (kicking off my ribs) until his head was at about 3 o'clock, and then he wiggled some more until his head was just by my ribs. What a little goofball.
We were able to babysit some friends' kids this week and it made us very excited to meet out own little baby. Can't wait til he gets here! We are almost there!
