6 Months

I am tired. I have no time to myself. I am constantly carrying around 20 pounds on my hip. I have to do things at warp speed during nap time. I get worn out, and then I look at this...

..and somehow it makes it all ok.

Bennett has been great from the beginning. But here lately, it is even better. His personality is in full swing! He laughs and squeals and yells and it is AWESOME! He keeps me rolling! I am not sure who makes the other laugh more.

He has learned to roll over. Actually, he learned that a while ago, but it took me weeks to see it for myself. Adam witnessed it first, and then the nursery worker at school. But me? Nope. He apparently wanted to keep me in suspense. Well, he kept that up for about 3 weeks. I would go in his room and find him on his belly, so I knew he was able, but just taking his time. Yesterday, he decided to grace me with his talent. It was awesome!

As if yesterday couldn't get any bigger, Bennett's first tooth also popped through the gum! Bottom, right! I almost cried. I would never have dreamed there would be a day where a tooth popping through an infant's gum would bring tears to my eyes.

Although he still wakes up through the night (he is learning how to sleep on his belly, since he rolls onto it every night) and gets a little gripey later on in the evening, he is so worth it. He has become his own little person and I am seriously loving watching every minute of it! He is AH-MAY-ZING!

6 Month Update

It is crazy to believe I have passed the 6 month mark of my pregnancy. 25 weeks down, 15 to go. Woah! A couple of things have happened in the past month, the biggest of which is the movement. It is crazy and cool! Not only can I feel him like crazy but when he kicks, I can see my stomach jump. Adam and I lay in bed every night and try to catch a glimpse.

Bennett now has a sleeping pattern. He is awake when I lay down at night and when I wake up in the morning, and pretty still during the day. Sometimes I get a little movement in the evening, but it is the strongest at night and first thing in the morning. I am really hoping he gets that sorted out when he gets here. :o)

Adam, my mom, and I also went to get paint for his room. With my mother the master decorator, and my husband the visually blessed guy, my little guy's room is going to look amazing! We are possibly going to be starting it this Saturday or next.

I can't believe it is getting so close. I am scared and excited, both at the same time. I am sure that'll never go away!
