The Volker Family: Baby Bump

Baby Bump

Some people have been asking to see tummy photos...so here's one my Mom snapped of me last month while working in Braylon's room. I will put some more current ones up in a couple days. Braylon is getting a lot stronger now. I can feel him kicking and moving all the time. Yesterday I even saw my belly move from him kicking. It was pretty neat! I can't believe there's only 15 weeks (give or take) to go!
