For Kicks

So, our boy has been moving around for quite a while and we've gradually been able to feel him more and more. First it was just me feeling him inside and then Ben could feel him, too, if he touched the right spot on my tummy. And how this little boy's daddy was excited to feel him! Now we don't have to locate the spot where gentle movements are happening because the boy literally makes my tummy jump. He's all over the place now! Sometimes it feels like he is going to kick himself right out of me! Other times, I can just imagine him bouncing around in his little warm cave world, happy as can be. I'm still completely amazed that there is another human in my belly and before he comes out, he'll be somewhere between 6 & 9lbs! Whew. I'll just let that one marinate a bit.

Other than some back and side pain that, while usually short in duration, feels like a knife stabbing me, especially while traveling last week, I'm feeling good. 26 weeks and counting. Well, not counting yet. Actually, I'm thankful for 3 months to get to my reading on birth, etc. How much we have to learn!

But first comes the kitchen remodel project starring the HandiDan Marshman, the Harrisons, and me- looks like I'll be serving as cheerleader and bartender of sorts. Ben will help too once he gets home from his new job. Until then...

Sorry about the pain lil mama, but you sound great and look really cute! Glad Ben is getting to be more a part of things, too!

Glad you're feeling better since you have finished traveling for a while. We'll be thinking about you guys while we are down at Holden.
