POW!!

Despite all the praise I'm getting for finally updating the blog, I think I posted a day too soon... because this evening I have more big news to share.

THE BABY KICKED!

As I said yesterday I have felt some suspicious flutterings here and there, but this evening I felt three big kicks that actually moved my belly out. It was literally amazing. Rich left around 6pm for his night shift so I had to share the big news with him in a voicemail, but I was able to call Grandma Tam and share the excitement with her instead. After no 'outward' movement at all I couldn't believe how violent these kicks were... Mom said we must have a future swimmer in there doing flip turns. Wouldn't that be fun (though I think I'd settle for a soccer player too).

Wow. What a fantastic way to start the work week and to end the 17th week of pregnancy. Thank you all for sharing in my excitement.

  3. I would be honored to have an Irish Step Dancing child. BUT I would be even more honored to have an Irish Step Dancing niece or nephew.
