First things first, I have to establish a nickname for this baby, because writing about him/her without being able to refer to a particular sex/name is becoming way too difficult. So, for no other reason other than it was on our originally name list (prior to finding out the sex) and quickly vetoed by family and friends, for the purposes of this blog, let’s call him/her “Beck.”
Okay moving on…I feel like I need to get this out, before it starts to become routine – although I am not sure how this feeling could ever be considered routine! Beck is moving all around! It is unbelievable, exciting, and scary all at the same time. I have been feeling Beck for probably a month now…the difference as of late, is that I can actually see Beck kicking. It is so wild! And that anyone would ever refer to this feeling as a flutter or quickening is beyond me. In talking with my old boss she likened it more to a muscle twitch, which I think is a much more accurate description at least of the movements that existing about a month ago. Now we are entering the stage of full-on kicks. It just amazes me. And to think of Beck in there…somersaulting or kicking or twisting or whatever just blows my mind. Even Aaron has been able as of late to see and feel Beck…although his patience wanes…he too has been able to occasionally catch a glimpse.
As for my burgeoning belly…it’s growing. Will post an updated pictures soon. Besides all that, I am feeling good. I go in on Monday for the glucose test, so hopefully that turns out okay.
In other news, Gpa Rick (Aaron's dad) surprised Aaron and came down for a quick visit this weekend. Aaron was really funny about it. His dad arrived at about 9:15 pm on Friday night and Aaron was really stunned...and then, much to my surprise, he started picking up the house!
Yesterday we just hung around the house in the morning and then visited Wings and Ale of Lexington (one of Aaron's favorite local bars) for the best chicken wings in the world and the MI game. I swear we ate like 100 wings between the 3 of us. We then ventured downtown to visit a bike shop and a couple of college book stores. We swung by a friends to pick up their copies of the Sopranos (which Aaron and I are really into now) and then of course Krispi Kreme for dessert. Our friends were also nice enough to give us their old rabbit ears, so now we actually get three of the main local chanels (NBC, CBS, and something else) - so we watched more football and played Pinochle last night. It's been a really nice visit so far.
Not sure what we'll do today, but I will try to get some pictures to post. I am always hesitant with the boys since they are so averse to picture taking and scrapbooking. Oh well, I will be that person today and make them pose for at least a couple of shots...
