Skipping ahead...

As I started this blog a little behind schedule...I'm jumping ahead. At 20 weeks I had felt him kicking for about 3 1/2 weeks! I say he's the next David Beckham! It wasn't until this time that I actually "felt" pregnant. Until then, I knew he was there and could feel little flutters, but the onset of full-on kicking proved that there really was a baby growing in that bump of mine. Late on a Sunday night, while Gabe and I were on the couch, watching an intense Pittsburgh Steelers game, I felt a movement that I had never felt before. I quickly said to Gabe "put your hand on my belly, I think he's going to kick". Call it a mother's instinct, but shortly after that, he kicked...and kicked HARD! Gabe's face was priceless. Ever since then, our little man has not stopped moving! I am loving every minute of feeling him move. From the smallest movements, to the big tumbles and twists, it tickles me pink!
