Random Moments...

No pictures to post, just a few funny stories and baby updates...

Bentley has had the hiccups quite a few times now. The first time was July 22nd at 4:30 in the morning! I got up to go pee and when I layed back down I could feel this faint little kicking (so I thought). After like 5-10 minutes and I was annoyed I couldn't fall back to sleep because she kept kicking me, it dawned on me that these were very rhythmic kicks and exceptionally light. I then realized she had the hiccups and it was the first time I could actually feel them. I still wanted to go back to sleep, but I couldn't help but smile and enjoy that amazing moment. It's little things like that I know I take for granted because it's something only a mother can feel. Although being pregnant has been rough between being super sick and now feeling like I'm about to explode because I'm so packed inside, I know I'm lucky. You can ask all the questions in the world, but you'll never fully understand what it's like until you have a little baby inside you, it really is quite amazing.

I'm almost 7 months, just a few more days, and I can tell she is getting sooo much stronger! She has always moved and kicked a lot, but these days they are HARD kicks. On Monday 8-1 I went grocery shopping for my Grannie and got dog food for our dogs. Well...all that moving and bending and lifting kicked my butt (granted lifting a 40 pound bag of dog food was not the best idea, but I think I still would have been wiped). At first I was just exhausted, as usual after shopping, but after a few hours I was really having trouble breathing because this pain on the left side of my chest was killing me! I whined and cried all night and could hardly eat because even the pressure of my stomach getting too big hurt. Well the next morning when I woke up the stabbing pain was gone but when I touched my ribs it KILLED! Apparently I had been given a swift kick to the ribs at some point and all that moving and shaking really irritated the bruises on my ribs. This was Bentley's first time out haha I told her kicking people is not a nice thing to do!! :) Lets just hope she doesn't break one next time.

My last story is about David. I can make fun of the silly things he does because I am just as guilty, I have my fair share of "duh" moments (ie. defrosting hamburgers in a toaster). Anyways, David pulled out the last half of the cookie dough to make cookies the other night but about 2 minutes after he sat back down from putting them in the oven I smell this burning smell. Now he's made cookies a million times before so I thought for sure he didn't put the oven on too high but I ask anyways what he has the oven set at because I can smell the cookies burning. He runs over there and pulls out the pan, I'm waiting for his response as to what he's done...I guess I can't make cookies on broil he says. I was confused because I thought for sure he said BROIL, so I ask him again what he had the oven set on. He tells me he had it on broil because I told him that cooks things faster and he wanted to eat his cookies faster haha Oh how I love him :) We got a good laugh out of it, but only after he was able to salvage them, otherwise I would have been quite angry because I really wanted me some cookies!!
