A nudge from within

As you can guess from the title, C has experienced the first baby kicks. We're very excited. Here's how she tried to explain it to me. She said it felt like being tapped by one of those little rubber reflex hammers, but from the inside of her abdomen.

Its only happened a couple of times, and never when I could feel it, but this is exciting. I think C is finally starting to believe that there really is somebody growing in there.

Next week we go for the fetal survey ultrasound that should tell us gender, if the little squirt isn't too shy. With me as the dad, I'm guessing that shyness won't be a problem.
