My Poor, sore belly

At work again, and feeling mighty crappy at that. The baby has been kicking sooo much that now it actually hurts. I can't complain though, I want him to kick that way I know everything is ok. I am already figuring out his sleep patterns... Sleep early in the morning, kick on and off all night, awake at around 9-10 am, sleeps all during lunch, wakes up in the late afternoon (but sleeps in car)... sleeps through dinner... wakes up during 8-9 p.m. sleeps a little, and then wakes up again on and off all night. I know that will not be his exact pattern when he gets here, but I am mighty proud that my little man already organizes his sleepy times IN THE WOMB (and he really does... I am not making it up...). He is also a fabulous dancer. I saw it in the ultrasound from 8 weeks.. to 16 weeks... to 23 weeks... He loves to jump around, he likes the more Coldplay, Keane sounding music. He is also a fan of Augustana. I think he just likes whatever sounds nice. He would probably start kicking if I put on the Wiggles or Barney too. I am going to get into letting him listen to Classical Music. I am hoping that he will be artistic, whereas I think that James is hoping for the next Tom Brady (what Dad doesn't hope for the next Tom Brady). If he is like most of the boys in my family, he will have that creative gene. Uncle Matthew plays piano, Grandaddy writes poetry, Papa John plays the guitar and sings. If he gets the Howard genes, he will be that little All Star.. James' side is all about football, soccer, little league, and boyscouts. I think that if he has a nice mix of both that would be perfect. NO FOOTBALL, however... it is too dangerous. Like I said though, whatever he chooses to do, I can't wait to be front and center watching. Ok, enough of my mommy babble which no one really wants to read or hear anyways.
