New Family Ride

Well, last week Chris and I made our first major purchase together...a new vehicle. I guess it's not BRAND new, but it's new to us. We bought a 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition. We figured that it was time to bite the bullet and get the "family car". Chris traded in his ever loved Jeep and this is what we got in return. We really love it and it has LOTS of extra room, so that's always good. Of course, we came close to not getting it....let's just say Chris and car salesmen don't exactly get along. Anyway, in the end we ended up with the vehicle and we really love it so far. Hopefully we get many years of service from it!!

Jump Around

Chris officially felt his little daughter kicking around today. When we got home from Cole Camp this evening I sat down at the computer to check my email and all that other good stuff. The entire time I was sitting there I was getting kicked like crazy by our little kickboxer. So I told Chris to come over and try to see if he could feel anything. Well, lets just say our little girl gave a huge kick right after Chris put his hand on my belly and that was all it took. Chris looked at me and smiled really big and said "I think I just felt her kick!!!" In his words "that felt really wierd!" After that I said to him...yeah, what do you think it feels like to me :) Anyway, as you can see, she's still kicking along in there and not slowing down at all!

The Little Kickboxer

Over the past few weeks I've really been able to feel our little girl kicking away inside me. I would have to say she's going to turn out to be a world champion kickboxer! She is constantly moving around and kicking up a storm. When I'm at work and sitting in the room with patients she's going like crazy. I'm beginning to think that during the day she's awake and very active and then in the evenings when I'm home is her naptime, because there is no movement from about 4pm until 9 or so. It is truly a wierd feeling, but it's really neat at the same time. I think Chris is straining at the bit to be able to feel her as well. Hopefully he won't have to wait too long!
