We're having a baby!!!

Most of you know by now, we're pregnant! This is a very exciting time for the two of us as we can't wait to start a family! As we count down the days (due in January) we thought we would extend our excitement to you by publishing this blog, which we hope will not only keep you up-to-speed with the progress of Melinda's belly but also act as an outlet for all of the stories that we are sure to experience as we come closer and closer to bringing little Leonardo into the world. Please share your excitement and/or advice by posting blogs of your own.

...here we go:)

Coughlin or Phelps in the Making??

For at least 6 weeks now I think I've felt the baby moving.

Doctor March says it's probably impossible that I would feel it that early (it was right around 12 weeks) but he also said I might not be able to get pregnant...he's VERY happy when he's wrong in my case! :)

Everyone keeps telling me that when I do officially feel Baby moving it might feel like a "flutter" but I wouldn't describe what I feel as a flutter. It's more like a big ol bubble rolling around in my lower left abdomen - the exact spot where Baby Leonardo is camped out!

One of the reasons I believe I'm feeling the baby is because I've discovered that Baby Leonardo LOVES the shower! :) Every time I am in the shower a disco party of rolling bubbles jumps in to action in my baby belly. AND...wouldn't you know...it happens when I'm swimming in our pool too (could this be the first sign of an Olympic swimmer in the making?? :)).

It's either Baby Leonardo sharing some serious happiness with Mommy or I've got some serious gas issues triggered by exterior water! As much as that would amuse me :) I am pretty sure Baby Leonardo is already an excellent communicator with Mommy! :)

The Blog will be the first to know when I feel THE flutter but until then Baby and Mommy are having a grand old time communicating in bubbles!

Wow! That little bump's really starting to show!! We won't be able to call it "little" much longer. :o) It's amazing that something so small (5 inches) could have toe nails and finger nails!
