Overdue

No, not M. - that's not until the end of September.  Rather, the blog has been long overdue for an update.  Sorry to my (three) loyal readers, including my old man who gave me a talking to about it.  Sheesh.

Anyway, here's a recent picture of M. enjoying a magazine and comfortably using her belly as a frontal armrest.  She feels Junior moving quite regularly these days and we can see her belly move when he decides to kick/punch.  During an especially spirited bout of movement recently M. gently pushed back with her hand and he stopped his squirming.  The first instance of true feedback/contact with our boy?  Could be.

Make that four loyal readers. I read always, post occasionally.

Have you been able to see body parts moving around? That was always the fun part to feel/see knees, elbows and butts as they rolled around! And, that was also when GCCT would get grossed out!!

Great to see that everything is moving along nicely, not much longer now...The Yocum's send love to all 3 :o)

Indeed, seeing the Alien-esque movements in my sister's/in-law's belly always freaked me out a bit. But, still fascinating and miraculous.

Since I was unable to attend the shower, I want you and/or M to pick one of these and I'll send it along:

Nothing's too good for my cousin's kid!

I too am a fairly regular reader. Can tell you're a first-time dad when you talk about "pushing it around for a few years". When he is about 1 yr. old, you will be fighting him for rights to push. He will feel that it would be much more fun pushing, than riding! I hope it is light weight since there will be more than one time you will end up carrying it in one arm and "Malcolm" in the other!
