Week 25

I don't think Max is really saying that but I thought it was funny. I tease Amy a lot through this so as to keep things around the house light hearted. In fact, we tease each other a lot and do everything possible to keep this experience incredible.

For starters, Amy's belly is getting bigger. At first I didn't notice it--typical male--I don't notice new hairdoos either or ask for directions until Amy tells me that we're lost, but that's a different story.

The other night, Amy laid back on the bed after her bath. I was watching TV when she sighed and told me that she felt bigger--much bigger and she grabbed her belly in a way that I had not noticed before. Of course this got my attention but she told me not to be concerned as Max is probably just growing. We Corderos make high poundage babies--we're talking heavy burrito poundage and I think that she's mildly concerned that she'll give birth to a cannon ball.

Believe it or not, it may sound strange but I really feel guilty that I cannot bear more of the pain of carrying a child. I wish there was a way to just encase Amy and Max in a chamber with nothing but a TV, food and a direct line to Starbucks and let them both sleep until August. We're so anxious to meet Max and I think about them both incessantly. I don't know what else to do but to be at her beck and call.

Max is moving now more than ever and it's exciting to see the movement through her shirt--there's that much movement. It's only May and we still have three months to go. It's exciting and I'm fascinated by both Amy and Max.
