Welcome to the Boom Boom Room, aka my uterus. Oh the days before you could feel your little one move. Even being a 2nd time around mommy and knowing that once you do feel him/her they tend to want you to feel them when you want to do something else, like sleep.
Braelyn is a picking mover, just like her big brother. I have been able to feel her from the outside and even see her kick my blanket for a few weeks now, however the second Wes's hand touches me she lays still. No less then 2 minutes after he has stopped waiting to feel her she is off again. She is a night time mover, hence her Boom Boom nick name. Around 7 pm the acid reflux kicks in, and then by 8 she is in a constant state of movement.
I envision her thinking something like this:
"ooo what is that over there (i feel major kick) ooo a kidney, that is bouncy, kick, kick, kick, hey hey look at that, what is that? (squeezes bladder by sitting on it) humm, I wonder if mommy needs to pee? Naa (bouncing up and down on bladder). Uh oh there is daddy I better be still....ok he is gone lets run our finders across things and make mommy feel all flutter and weird. LOL did you hear mommy? She said it is creepy lets do it some more....( as little tinnical(sp)like feelings spread across the upper rib cage). Ok well I am board now I will leave her alone for now.
-2 hours later laying in bed-
DANCE PARTY time! Forget hitting these crazy things lets just do some new butty busting moves, a little cha cha to the left, oh no mommy don't lay that way, I don't like it (bang bang bang on my side till I re adjust). Like that, yes lay like that. Da da da da da da, da da da da da ta this dancing all around and flipping is fun. Whooooosh summer salt (sp) whoosh and another one (me feeling nauseous feeling as insides are spinning wile this child literally flips herself over and over and over again. Don't believe it? You can watch as her butt passes on by the top of my stomach, again and again, an again). Ok well I will sleep now."
Tap tap on face, "mommy you awake" oh good lord the other one is awake now.

Blogging='s time I do not have!
SO I realized the other day it has been a while since i posted. Funny thing is it hasn't been a long time since I have written. When looking in my blog post I currently have 10 that is right 10 unfinished blog's! That is just too many! Some now are from so long ago I don't even know if they are worth posting, so I will sum them up really quick =)
1. Kaje has adjusted to having a little sister instead of a little brother. A few weeks back he brought me one of his small Elmo cars and told me it was for Baby Braelyn. He wanted to out it in the crib where we have all of Braelyn's little things displayed. He said that she will need this (meaning the car) to play with him. It was so sweet!
2. I think the people on Toddler with Tiaras are CRAZY! Yes I did pageants, NO I will not put my 2 year old in Glitz Pageants! maybe the mall pageant where she wears a church dress and the winner gets a savings bond, but rest assured I will not be spending thousands of dollars and spray tanning my child and putting on fake teeth and hair!!!! Those people are just OUT THERE!!!
3. My hubby heads to VA here soon and I am very sad. Explain to me how you have a Deployment Meeting at a Shore Command? No really sure but we did!!!
4. My sister got hitched! I got sick and swoll up like a balloon. Traveling is so hard when you are preggers. Now Ihave to figure out how I will get back to Memphis for my little sisters graduation from College and my brothers high school graduation...I am sure I can figure something out.
5. Wes's cousin had brain surgery to hopefully help with his MS we are still waiting but so far so good!
6. Kaje heard the babies heart beat finally! He thought it was "cool" seriously this was his response! "Cool mommy" then he informed the DR that Baby Braelyn was a girl and not a boy and he wanted to make sure she understood that. Got to love a 3 year old that knows it all.
7.I am exhausted all of the time again and morning/all day sickness has returned yay me!
Ok so there is a wrap on life here =)

Mom, Dad, you have some explaining to do!
These are the words uttered by our ultrasound tech as she notified us that we were having a Girl! To say that complete disbelieve and utter shock hit both of our faces is by far an understatement. I asked her 3 times if she was sure, and she was sure, 100% sure. 3 lines, spread eagle, bearing it all and her mouth was wide open as she laughed at us! Needless to say Kercher did not take kindly to this news. he informed the tech that the baby in mommy's belly was a BOY his name was Brock and that she needed to check again. Nope, no baby boy there just a Baby Girl moving around like an acrobat so we have no, no decent pictures. luckily my office does another ultrasound at 30 weeks! Yay for that i had no idea I thought this one would be it. So hopefully when there is less room for her to move around we can get a good shot of her =)But the more important issues is how to get Kercher to understand that Mommy is having a girl and not a boy.
Rookie parent of one mistake. Don't assume you know the sex of the new baby and tell your 3 year old. he is excited to have a sister, be he is still asking about his brother. He let me know this morning that he would like Brock 1st and then BraelynAnn can come. I am not sure that it is going to work out quite like that. Kids are resilient (THANK GOD) as well as if you keep enforcing things they tend to adapt to them so I am sure it will be fine. I have a friend who was told she was having a girl so she prepared her family for a girl, however brought home a little boy. Granted this situation is not exactly the same, I am thinking we will get through it. Of course I though about her last night and looked at my husband and was like "that had better not be us, he is going to be so confused if we tell him it was a boy, no now it is a girl, then come home with a boy!" At the 30 week u/s they will be able to get a super clear, oh yea its a girl shot!
We are both so glad that we didn't wait for the delivery room to learn the sex of our little one. I would say most of the time a mothers intuition is right on what she is having. I think with all the emotions in that delivery room and how convinced we were it was a boy I am just not sure how all that would have gone, so this makes me very excited! And although I wasn't exactly sure I wanted to know, I am so relieved that I found out. the feeling was not what I thought it would be. It was great don't think it wasn't, or that we weren't excited because we were, but it is just funny. I was so sure it was a little boy that I told my husband I felt until we knew it was a girl that this was it. 2 boys and we were good. I was happy with that. But now having one little girl makes me think that I really need one more little boy, but something tells me you are always going to want one more of something =) and you have to draw the line somewhere.
We are excited to announce that BraelynAnn Ensley will be joining the family in mid July! And hopefully by then Kercher will have come to terms with a sister =)
