This past monday when Marc and I were lounging in bed watching tv Xavier began to kick. It wasn't just any kick, these were BIG kicks! He was being very active, I think he was practicing some form of karate, I'm sure readi-ing himself to kick our butts come Sept. We were amazed about how much my stomach rose when he was kicking. I remember when he'd kick and I'd see my tummy jump just a little and think did I see that or is it just my eyes? But Monday, WoW! I think anyone who was looking could have seen him kick from across our bedroom.
Marc and I our having such a good time with our baby. I'm enjoying so much of him now just seeing and feeling how much he is growing and developing.
Yesterday Xavier was being very quiet, too quiet so about 1:30pm on my way to meet Marc for lunch I began to rub my belly and talk to him. And of course he responded very quickly with little kicks. I love this boy! I'm sure he was sleeping for a long time til he heard and felt his mommy talking to him. He is such a good boy already! He let me know that he is ok and he's listening. It's so nice to think that we can communicate and understand each other is wonderful.
I almost forgot to add.
Marc and I went to see Indiana Jones I think it was Sunday. Anyway, I usually don't like to see big blockbuster movies on the weekend it comes out because of the crazy crowds. But I didn't want to be a downer, so we went. Lo and behold the movie was absolutely packed!!!!! We sat in the second row far right. Wonderful!!! Yes, I told you so, and yes I did tell him that only after I asked for his permission. The movie was really loud, sitting close to the speakers, we may have sat underneath of them I don't know, but it felt like we did. Well the baby was jumping and kicking so much. I was worried, I was really worried. I envisioned the lil' tyke in agony and me causing him to have future hearing problems. It was awful thinking such thoughts, I covered my stomach to try to buffer the sound. I felt like calling the doctors office, I felt like leaving. Then I remembered reading in one of our books about a woman in a similar situation. This woman went to a concert which is much louder than sitting under a speaker at the movies. I didn't remember reading anything terrible about this pregnant lady so I stayed reluctantly watching. The movie wasn't loud all the time, just at some parts, it was mostly the coming attractions. I was mostly worried about the kind of loud that you can feel the vibrations, booming loud. Xavier was definitely reacting to the movie and I didn't feel like anything was wrong so I stayed. So it took me a little while but I relaxed and so did Xavier. :)
Today I was listening to "White lines" sung by I'm not sure who exactly. I had the music up loud and was having fun singing along and doing my crazy dances. Xavier was moving along with me, I'm sure enjoying my singing. I do not dance alone! :) I just like the thought that he is reacting to his environment. Both of us together experiencing the same thing, loving it. "White lines" I like to play over and over, I wonder if this song will be recognized by Xavier when he is born?? :)
