Axe Murderers and Moving Baby - Week 17

This week has been nice. We just got back from Falls Creek and Jenn and I slept most of the day. This week, we've spent our time working with the teenagers who went with us. We had like 30 kids from junior high and middle school all the way through newly graduated seniors. The week was a lot of fun. If you'd like to see a little bit about the week, check it out HERE

We had a great week with the kids, but the rest we got today was much needed. The coolest baby-related thing was that I finally got to feel the baby move. It felt like someone drumming their fingers on the inside of Jenn's stomach. It was really cool, but it was even cooler watching Jenn interact with the baby all week. It would be moving around and she would reach down and rub on it or it would be poking her and she would push on it to move it around. The whole thing is pretty crazy. 

The coolest non-baby related thing was scaring the crap out of the girls in the dorm. Friday night everyone was staying up late and being crazy. I took the trash out of the kitchen at about 1:30 in the morning and could see the lights in the girl's dorm were still on (by the way, you can't see in those windows, I'm no creeper...). So, I went over and banged on the windows. A scream irrupted from the dorm that would make you think that an axe murderer had just walked into the room. I ran back inside just in time for the first girls to pour out of the dorm and let all the sponsors know about the whole ordeal. It was pretty funny...

By the way, we find out the sex of the baby later this week, so check next week's post for the big news!

According to BabyCenter.com: Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — his lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and he's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. He can move his joints, and his sweat glands are starting to develop. [personal note: I hope the baby gets his sweat glands from his mother. I sweat like a fat kid in a trash bag]

That's all for now. See you later...
