Tug o War and Kickboxing

I think he is practicing the good ol' game of tug-of-war in there today...he's pulling on his cord and it feels so weird, but absolutely amazing. It kinda hurts, a little bit; not like grueling pain, just more than uncomfortable. It's still pretty neat though.

I am starting to be able to distinguish his movements in there lately. He's lying sideways right now and occasionally will stick his head against the wall so that Dale can feel his little head. The other night, he stick it right next, just to the left of my belly button and Dale pushed on it a little bit, he promptly kicked me in the bladder...bathroom run! Sometimes I can tell if he's using a knee or elbow or if it's his hands or feet. His hands are the smallest when he touches the wall with them, his feet are definitely the strongest and his head is the largest! He loves to make his presence known; all the time. I love it!

His favorite times to move around are just when I am trying to go to bed or when I am just waking up. He loves to move around when Dale gets up for the morning show before my alarm goes off. When that's the case, I stay up for another hour or so and we hang out watching early early morning news. He likes it when I a lying on my back, propped up on pillows; that's definitely when he's more active. It's easier to see him moving around then.

Ya, know Dale asked me the other day if it hurt or if his kicking and moving around in there is annoying at all...I say, not one bit! It's absolutely amazing to me how there is a little tiny person growing inside me and he reminds me of his presence all the time. I'd say that the being pregnant part is great, just not the aches and pains that come with the territory, but I'll live. I can't wait to have this new little man in my life. He'll make a great addition to our growing family and if he's anything like his dad, he'll bring me smiles, joy, laughter and blessings everyday! I can't wait!
