Mid-Winter

We've been excited these past couple of days because I felt the first kicks of the baby on February 22!  Noé keeps asking me if I've felt any more kicks - every time he walks into the room.  He'll be more excited, I think, once he can feel them from the outside.  So what's it feel like?  Like holding a wiggly gold-fish in your cupped hands, or an extra heart pounding a couple times in my lower belly.  He's been reading up on pregnancy in his Spanish version of the book, so he seems to be somewhat of an expert these days.  I've been wearing maternity pants for the past month and a half now, and they are a lot more comfortable than buying just a size bigger, and today I've organized the closet based on what fits and doesn't fit (unfortunately the doesn't fit category is growing every day).  We've been working on getting gift registries in place, so click on the Baby page to the right for those links.  Next Thursday we'll go to our 20 wk ultrasound where we'll find out the sex of the baby and get some more good picts and movie clips, so we'll keep you all updated.

I was inspired to go ahead and make a quilt already, crib size.

It's getting harder and harder to pretend I'm not pregnant!
