No Worries Mate

My mom took Mason this am and it has been a nice reprieve. The house is so quiet though. I have been worried that the baby hasn't been moving enough the last few days, but with Mason gone and the house so quiet, the baby is moving a ton. A little kickboxer in there today. i think he misses Mason and is usually quiet because he is listening to Mason. Earlier in the summer when Mason would talk to my belly, the baby would become very still and as soon as Mason stopped talking, he would just moving around again. I think it's neat that there is some kind of relationship between them already and that Mason's little brother is responding to him. Seriously though, I can't remember the last time I felt the baby move this much, and Mason being out of the house for an extended period is the only change. It will be interesting to see what happens when Mason comes home.

I thought I would see a mouse for sure with all the quiet, but nothing so far. Maybe it was a rogue. One afternoon (before we saw the mouse) the back door had been left open while we were outside, it may have snuck in then. (I am hoping).

Mason has been doing well as we purchase items for the baby and hasn't seemed bothered by it. So the other day when we were out I asked him if he wanted to pick out a stuffed animal for his brother to which he replied "Yes, but I will get to play with it until he is born" and "Well, i want to pick one out for me". That seemed to bother him. Maybe he can pick one out for his brother and himself.

Does anyone have any ideas for a big brother gift for Mason? We are thinking of getting him a little camera. He has been asking for one and I think he'll be pretty resposible with it when given some guidelines. oh, Mason is home now. bye for now
