Well, last week was a big week for our baby boy! I feel like he grew so much! My belly is a lot bigger and I am definitely feeling a LOT of growing pains. My lower abdomen gets really achey. They call it "Round Ligament Pain", some women experience it a lot more/stronger than others. I guess I am one of them- they last for quite a while. At first they scared me, but now that I know what they are I just sit down, prop my feet up and demand ice cream;) (Just kidding on the ice cream part, however that does sound SO good at the present moment)

I've even been experiencing Charley Horses! They wake me up in the middle of the night and it is usually BOTH legs! They are so incredibly painful, however I have a wonderful husband who massages them out for me;) I am so blessed to have such a caring husband!

Little Heuer is getting more and more active as the days go by- I've started to notice a pattern. I wonder if his active patterns and quiet patterns will be similar after he is born.

Ian and I have stared reading up on raising boys. We've bought the DVD series by Dr. Dobson called "Bringing up Boys". We have really enjoyed it so far and are very excited about digging deeper into this issue. Ian just finished reading "Wisker Rubs" and I just finished reading "That's my Son"- both of which we highly recommend. We really felt like we know what and how to pray for our son for and for ourselves as parents to a son after reading both of those books. We just feel so incredibly blessed. God is so Good.

We love you all

Ian, Leah and Sweet Baby Boy
