Big things are happening!

More about my miracle baby!

I have been feeling the baby move ever so slightly since I was about 18 weeks, but last night Tim actually felt the baby move too. Baby hadn't moved in awhile and being the gross worrier that I am, I started to get well, worried. Tim placed his hand on my growing belly and I told baby she needed to kick very hard so that daddy could feel it. And guess what? That's exactly what she did! It was the hardest kick to date and if baby keeps it up then I'll be black and blue. It looks like soccer just might be in her future! That or a punter on a football team.

We also did our first shopping trip for baby on Saturday. It was fun to research the best toys for babies and then hit the local Toy's R Us. (Okay that was a bit of joke, as our "local" Toy's R Us is an hour a way)

There was this bilingual alphabet drum on the top ten list, and when we walked by it in the store Tim kind of poo - pooed it at first. Until 15 mins later he was still playing with it! I can't wait to see the musical creations he and baby make together. It really gave me an inside peak at what a great father he will be. We found some great pink toys, some rattles and teethers etc., as well as a traditional glow worm. At any rate, it was fun to walk the aisles and look at all of the toys for every stage in her childhood. Tim keeps trying to buy the baby a Lego set, he actually really liked a moving construction truck set --- hmmm who were we shopping for, I forgot =) We had a great time playing with the toys ourselves!

I believe Tim is going to post some of my early belly shots and our latest ultrasound photos shortly - so stay tuned!
