Day 174 or 24 weeks 6 days

It's funny to talk with parents, be around parents with their kids and see how they handle different situations and think how I will handle the same situations. 

Will I be a yeller?  Will I let my child walk all over me?  Will I make people wash their hands before coming over?  Will I be anti-sugar until they are 3? 

So many questions and I would like to say I will be easy going, but I know me and I know that I am a baby hog.  I am scared I will never let anyone hold my baby because I will want to be selfish. 

I remember my brother use to say "My child will never..."  And everything he said his child would never do, did.  So I know that I can't say that.  I look at how spoiled my dog is and pray that won't be a reflection on my parenting.

Day 173 or 24 weeks 5 days

I read that at this time, babies kick around 200 times a day.  I think Baby Ethan has decided to kick 200 times an hour.  I am having a blast feeling his movements.  It's hard to believe that he has time to sleep with all that movement.  Even when I woke up at 5 this morning little Ethan was letting me know he was awake.  It's funny.  I almost feel like he trying to get my attention.  I haven't met him yet, but I already love him so much!  It's a great reflection on God's love for us.
