Baby Hiccups

they feel kinda like what i would imagine a belly spasm to feel like, although now that i have it in writing, it sounds painful (its not). for all of you out there who have never been pregnant (and i'm hoping the days are numbered for some of you....i won't mention any names...) it kinda is strange feeling, but really cool. i mean, really, it feels like overnight someone has surgically inserted a basketball inside of my belly, one that dances and squiggles all on its own. so, that ended up being a poor analogy, but too bad. i can't think of anything else.
tomorrow is halloween, which is subsequently knox's birthday. i cannot believe he is 2 years old already. i know, i know. you hear this sort of thing every year from every mother, but its true! where did the time go? somewhere in the past two years, between nursing, diapering, watching knox learn to talk, to walk, to run, to make complete sentences (they're getting better), to eating more and more vegetables without getting into trouble, learning the first 6 questions & answers of the catechism, learning to sit still at times, learning to be quiet at times, going to the playground, playing with chalk, seeing the chickens, going on trips, and everything else in our daily routine, i don't know where the time went! ;)
we have plans for trick-or-treating at friends' houses in his nemo suit, and possibly stopping by a fall festival if we have enough time. after we put knox down, we are having some friends over for games and appetizers (hooray for adult time!). i am looking forward to it.
saturday is knox's birthday party, again it will be at the little park, as we like to call it. i still have need of wrapping the little gifts i got for him (shhh, keep it a secret & i'll tell you what it is! a spiderman potato head, little bob-the-builder trucks, some sort of non-dripping go-diego-go bubble blower, and some cash we'll put away for his savings.) i still need to make the elmo cake i'm planning on baking, but perhaps i'll do that saturday morning so it will be fresh and so that i won't be overwhelmed with other things.
this afternoon i have a bridal shoot with robin (shoot 2). we ran out of time...and lighting...last time, so we're going at it again! i am looking forward to it. i wish i could post some of the pictures from the last shoot, but the nature of the shoot is relatively secret, so once they're safe and married, i'll try to post the pictures. :)

I've had MANY baby hiccups in my tummy so I know exactly what you are talking about. Once I got over being sick, I always loved being pregnant. Enjoy these last few weeks!! I must say having 2 children was much harder than having 7!!!!! So brace yourself................

Catechism? You guys Catholic now? And Knox is so cute! You should take him to the pumpkin patch. He'd probably love it. :) When are you due? I'm due in April so I haven't gotten to the baby hiccups yet. But I love 'em and can't wait. Do you know what you are having?

baby hiccups must be a strange feeling for sure! we should be coming home around Christmas for a few days so maybe baby strebeck will be here by then and I can come hold the little man and play with knox too.
