Just some baby stuff

When I was pregnant with Gabriel, his defining characteristic was that he got the hiccups. All the time, all day long. But I don't remember him moving around very much at night.

This baby (and we have picked out a name but are going to wait to tell everybody except for Gabriel), has had the hiccups a few times in the past few weeks. But his defining characteristic is that he likes to move. Especially at night. All. Night. Long. Which both thrills me and wears me out a little. And it's not just in one spot, so either he's huge already or he really knows how to get around in there. So I can pretty much guarantee he already has his days and nights mixed up.

Gabriel has started saying good morning and good night to his baby brother and kissing my belly. It's really sweet and I think he's starting to grasp what's happening and get excited about it. On PBS there is a little daycare-like setting in between shows where they teach preschool type things. One day recently they were supposed to make a scrapbook with pictures showing what made them different from other kids. At one point the teacher asked the kids at home if they have any brothers or sisters and Gabriel shouted YES!.

Pretty cool.
