Daren is moving around several times a day kicking, punching, and hurting mommy’s ribs. The sonogram tech told us Daren will be a big baby. At 28 weeks I was 3 pounds 2 ounces. Now I am coming up on 30 weeks this Thursday. Yikes can you imagine. Anyway one article I read said that a baby can be between 2-4 pounds at 28 weeks, so I guess we are doing great so far. 2 months to go, next sonogram will be March 9th. Today we bought our expedition stroller/carrier just in case this little youngster decides he wants to come early. 
Just a few months and counting, so we put it in high gear and made some serious changes at home: getting his room ready. The spare bedroom that housed our home office was quickly emptied out and the painting began.
As of today, the room is blue… all blue, including the ceiling. We chose a light smoothing blue which will then be covered with clouds and lots of brightly colored Winnie the Pooh characters.
More to come as the room is slowly transformed.

24 weeks on Wednesday and I cannot wait… Is there anything I can do to make him cook faster? Call me inpatient if you will but I just want to see his little face and the pleasure of looking right into our own eyes. Yes, a product of us he is, blue eyes, dark/light hair, Miguel’s nose, and my cute feet. Ha As you can tell we are so looking forward to his arrival as the 16 long weeks draw near… Martin Memorial Hospital is where our little champ will be born. Feb. 8th Diane and I will go see him dance on the big screen… Yep that’s right, our little future star wonder dancing to, “ Hooked on a Feeling”. It’s great, practically every day our son listens to a variety of music, Chopin, Beethoven, Classic Rock, POP, and Celtic.., We are bringing out the genius in him. Oh and a very special Thanks to his Nana K and G-Pa Ken for buying us the belly speaker kit. Anyway’s, I sure hope we get more great photos of him and I will make sure I ask to see how much he weighs this time. So that said and a bag of chips, it is time for me to work on his canvas.
It’s that time of the pregnancy, when daddy is able to feel Daren moving around inside mommy. Yep, he’s kicking up a storm: as if he’s having a party or something.
In the last couple of days, I can feel him moving around and punch or kick around. Although often uncomfortable for mommy, daddy can enjoy feeling him inside. Way cool!
