...with a kick to the head

For a while now, I've been wondering if maybe our baby didn't really like me much. Every time Barb would get me to come over and watch/feel for movement, she would decide she didn't really like me and stopped moving. Anyhow, last night, I thought I felt a couple kicks but wasn't really sure. And then she wound up, like kicking a field goal from the 40 yard line....I felt that one. Amazing how much power she has.

So I decided I'd put my ear to Barb's stomach, as supposedly I can hear the baby's heart beat. Since we had just eaten, I heard some Wendy's digesting, but no heart beat. So as not to dissapoint, the baby then decided to just go ahead and kick me in the face...right around the cheek area. Certainly heard/felt that one as well...I would have scolded her for kicking her father in the head, but I imagine she doesn't know the difference.

Anyhow, I've got to say, it's just amazing. A few short months ago, it was just yolk sac, and ultrasound by ultrasound, the baby is getting larger and larger (and the ultrasounds get blurrier and blurrier as she being to move around). In fact, the other day, I'm pretty much she flipped the bird at us in one picture, tired of us peering in on her while she tries to sleep. Now she's decided to just move around a lot so we can't get a clear view on anything.

In other news, we've started in on the baby's room. I've gotten the ceiling painted, and we're ready to move on to the walls. Picked up a ceiling fan yesterday that will compliment our theme perfectly. Now I just need to get a jigsaw and some MDF so I can start making the wall decorations...all in all, this ought to look pretty nice...

I really wish we had a video camera for this one, it was so cute. I mean she really kicked him, luckily her feet aren't to big yet to really hurt him.
