Soooo, Mommy is sitting in her first Ph.D. class last Wednesday, August 20, 2 hours in to a VERY long evening when suddenly, without warning, she receives a swift boot to the inside of her uterus!
No mistaking this one folks! Baby Leonardo made his/her lack of interest in the rhetoric of new media quite obvious!
It was AMAZING! I could actually feel the little one's heel when he/she booted me one more time just for emphasis. :)
Baby and I shared some wonderful bonding moments the next night when he/she decided to talk to me using their little feet again while I was lying in bed watching tv. Some of the kicks were so hard that my hand would move!
But the best part by far was when Daddy got home...we had a spaghetti dinner and then there it was...a little kick to get started. Mommy quickly lied down on the floor and Daddy put his head down on her belly. Without hesitation, as if sweet pea was patiently waiting for him to arrive, Daddy then received his very first kick to the head from Baby :)
No joke, this baby is so strong (or at the very least so close to the surface of my tummy) that when he/she kicked Daddy he got a little "thud" on his cheekbone. (Mommy and Daddy's little soccer star already!)
Everyone has been talking about how cool it would be when the baby starts moving and that really doesn't even come close to describing just how darn awesome it is!!
Now, I wait each day for those little kicks and just sit there and smile. Baby and Mommy are just "kickin it" together, having a long conversation that no one else can hear :) (except if they're brave enough to put their head down there and wait...)
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:)
