And this is for you Sharley. A belly shot. it is from the front, but you can get a good view of my almost popped-out belly button. It is cool because I can tell when she is there because it gets a pinch harder and more outward!

Matt is already starting to be a great older brother. He checks on Molly and makes sure that my cravings are met, so she and I ... and he are happy. He watches her move around in my belly, too. She often kicks when he is around and loves to listen to him play baseball. She loves the clink of the bats! When we were at the batting cages, she would kick while he was up. One day at school, one of my students, named Matt, needed a reminder to be quiet, so I said, "Matt, please no noises." and Molly started kicking! She must have thought I was talking to her big brother!!

As promised.... here are some new belly photos. I am 30 weeks today in these shots. I have been feeling well and Molly has been growing. I am starting to get uncomfortable at night and find myself walking around or going to the couch. My back is achy and I can't sleep. Stairs are not my friend, nor are things that have fallen on the ground. Luckily, Phil, Matt, and my students are there to help out. Molly is moving around a lot daily. We can watch my stomach bounce around and see her push out. It is definately amazing.
We are starting to get the baby room ready. We are painting it 1/2 pink and 1/2 white, with ballet slippers stenciled in the middle. The bedding is basic, white, green, and pink gigham. We are excited and so lokoing forward to the day that she is here!!
