Little Kicks

No, I am not talking about Elaine's dance moves on Seinfeld. I am talking about the moving and groving Baby Brian is doing inside my belly.

I had been waiting to feel that first amazing movement and finally I did...about two weeks ago. But, it was more of a little flutter - so little in fact, it left me doubting that it was Baby Brian vs. a little indigestion!

But, Baby Brian is developing a routine. I feel little kicks around 8am, 4pm, and again around 9pm. (He/she might be moving around during the day, but so am I.) And, these kicks are getting stronger and stronger. I can actually feel them by placing my hand over my belly. Unfortunately, each time this has happened, Billy had been no where near me. I want to see his face when he feels those little kicks.

Anyway, it's been fun and amazing. I described it as a blessing...Billy said it was just his boy throwing bullpens already. (Such a proud papa.)

Bun in the Oven

Yep, Billy and I are expecting Baby Brian this Halloween! I am just over fourteen weeks pregnant and finally feeling good. The first trimester was pretty rough - lots of morning sickness and fatigue. But, I am now experiencing that glorious second trimester spurt of energy!

We've had one ultrasound and heard the heartbeat a few times. All is well. Baby Brian has a strong heartbeat and as of yesterday was a bundle of energy constantly moving around.

I'd post some "baby bump" photos, but the "bump" hasn't quite appeared yet. But, don't worry, it is on its way and pictures will be forthcoming.

Thanks for all the wonderful words of love and encouragement everyone has given us. We're so excited about our new family and happy to share it with all of you.
