7 Months and Lots of Growth.........

My stomach has definitely grown the most between 6 and 7 months. It just keeps going straight out! :) The baby has definitely grown a lot. When he moves you can see my stomach move all around. The other night Brian had his hand on my stomach and he could feel different parts of the baby raise up and move across my stomach. What a crazy experience! I am not sleeping so well as my stomach grows, but did buy a long body pillow that seems to be helping. I think all of my pillows are slowly pushing Brian out of the bed, but he seems to having no trouble sleeping.

We have started to clear out the baby's room but have yet to paint it. Brian is going to start working on that soon. We have baby showers coming up in Pittsburgh and Lancaster and are very excited about them. It is awesome to have so many people just love on us and this baby. We feel so blessed by our friends and family.

Monday began the start of our child birth classes. We are doing an extensive class that meets for many weeks. It was a fun and interesting class and Brian even had to give me a massage. I was laying there thinking that I was definitely going to enjoy these classes.

If you know me, you may know that I love music. I was laughing last night telling Bri that I like to give the baby "music time" every day. :) I put my headphones on my stomach and play music and he usually starts moving around a ton. Maybe we will have a great musician someday......

We read that the baby can clearly hear peoples voices at this point. Every night Brian reads a Psalm to baby McHugh before we go to bed. Hopefully he will learn his dad's voice and we are having fun speaking God's truth over this little man every day. I often sit and wonder what God has in store for our son. We are praying that he grows up to know the love of Jesus in ways people can only dream of. It is amazing how much you can love someone before ever even meeting them. This little guy is definitely loved beyond measure.
