First strong kick!


As I was sitting leaning forward typing on the computer earlier today I felt a strong kick! The kick felt like a big bubble bursting in my abdomen. How exciting, first I didn't know what to think for a second then I remembered what my best preggo friend had told me about the first kick. She had told me that when you feel it you'll know what it is and it's much different than a flutter or squirm. The first kick was so strong, stronger than I'd imagined then it happened two more times but it wasn't as strong as the first.

Whoo-hoo!!!

Earlier in my pregnancy I'd feel some discomfort whenever I'd sit leaning forward. I'm sure I was probably cramping Sweetpea and this time the baby let me know to cut it out already.

How absolutely wonderful!!!

Next week I'll be at the halfway point of my pregnancy!!!

Every night Marc or I read to little Sweetpea, it's very relaxing to us and the baby. I imagine when I'll be able to read to Sweetpea good night stories as s/he lays to sleep, I can't wait for those special times.
There's so many special moments yet to be experienced, I know I'll wish that I could bottle them all up and keep forever as Sweetpea grows up.

Congrats on the first kick, that's wonderful. Good luck today at the doc's. Like everyone I can't wait to find out what little sweetpea is.

So now we know little Sweetpea is a wonderful little boy!!! I can't wait to make his acquaintance. I know he'll be as cute as can be (he can't miss with his good-looking daddy and mommy).
Sonia - I can't see who he looks like yet, but I believe you that he looks like Marc. Woweee!
