Kicks & Punches!!!

So, the baby is really kicking away now. He kicks when Josh talks to my belly - it's really cute. He's also big enough to where if he's on one side of my belly, my belly gets lop-sided.

I was doing some work on my laptop the other day and the baby started going crazy. I don't know if it was the laptop being so close to my belly or what; that was a first. He is really getting strong. You can't see his kicks on my stomach yet, but people have been telling me as I get further along I'll be able to see when he kicks on the outside of my belly. That’s going to be crazy!

My belly continues to get bigger and bigger. I've still only gained about 7-8 pounds so far. I'll be 22 out of 40 weeks along as of Monday. I think my stomach is huge, but everyone that sees it says my belly is still so small. Seems pretty big to me – haha!

By the way, Margit did not think of the name Cole as the middle name. I told her what we were thinking of naming the baby, and she was commenting that she liked the name. I think Jeremy Cole is a pretty cute name; It flows.

Josh is already telling the baby he is going to have to learn karate and taekwondo to protect me when he isn't around - haha. He's definitely getting his practice kicking in my belly.

I can't believe it’s already August. This summer is going by so fast. It doesn't even seem like I've done anything; I've only been to the beach two times. Man, how time flies!
