M: 105 Shopping days left!!! A: -speechless-

We just passed the 25 week mark and all is well. I feel like my belly is getting bigger by the micro-second. I do feel like my belly is beginning to look official, not just like I need to go to the gym and do more crunches. In any case, I spend a lot of time with my hand on my belly as to clear up any possible doubts.

"When is the baby due?"

"Baby?!?!" -Adam then proceeds to restrain the big pissed off woman.

Arkansas is agreeing well with all in the Bradbury family - aside from the myriad of strange and constant bug bites. Adam is working hard during his academic phase of C-130 training. It is keeping him busy and in the books. I have just started my second week of a long term sub for a first grade class whose teacher is sick. Mrs. Thompson has not even met her class yet. That being said, last week was rather difficult for all involved - including babyboy. I am not sure he likes all of the yelling and moving and noise. This just gives him an early chance to get used to Mom barking orders and being bossy--something Adam is still getting used to. I do have to say that sometimes in class, he is the only one who does not sit when commanded. I guess we'll worry about that one later.

Babyboy is a mover and a shaker. Adam & I felt him kick for one of the first times together. That was pretty much awesome. I love to feel him move, although it still takes me by surprise when I am not paying attention or I forget I am pregnant. Happens often. B.B is pretty good about kicking his Dad too. I think it is his way of saying, "Hey Dad, wanna wrestle?" Music to Adam's ears (and mine).

As of today, we are all happy and healthy and well. We went jogging the other day. We are enjoying the beautiful fall colors. We are keeping busy and looking forward to January 1. (It's early, but I've already started listening to Christmas music).
