"Givin me something I can feel...

... to let me knoooow this love is reaaal..." The weeks are going by fast! We're now goin' into week 23, and things are going well, thank God. Sonia's tummy is getting bigger and rounder every day. I painted the nursery last weekend, and Sonia stayed at her brother Franks' place (thanx Uncle Frank, Auntie Angie, and little cousin Roman!) to escape the fumes. When I went to pick her up,the first thing that I noticed after a day and a half, is how much bigger she had gotten. (and sorry Luv, the SECOND thing I noticed is that you're beginning to do that beautiful "mommy to be" waddle just a little when you're coming down stairs.) The baby is gaining weight fast, and apparently getting alot stronger too. Later, after we got home, as I lay my head on Sonia's belly, little Xavier finally gave his daddy a proper introduction in the form of quite a few jabs and movements that I could feel! WOW! It was priceless feeling him in there moving around and testing out his new limbs. I'm having fun imagining that he's feeling my face and getting a better idea of who big daddy is as I talk to him. He's getting more active in there, and now Sonia can tell when he's awake or not. I just can't wait to rough him up and make him laugh, but that's getting ahead. Right now, we're just enjoying ourselves; Father, Mother, and Baby: the key ingredients in Gods' most magnificent miracle of life.
