Today is the last day of 2006.
Tomorrow starts 2007, the year we become parents.
quite humbling really
We are both very excited.
I have begun to realize how different the days become. Last week about December 22, 23, on through Christmas the baby decided to settle in my hip, not a bad thing, until he/she used a nerve for a pillow. He/she would lay on this nerve, make my leg go numb and send shooting pains through my right leg. My left leg felt nothing. ( I think it was jealous)
But then around the 26th or so, no more pain since then.
Yesterday was an exercise day. Kicking, flipping, moving, rolling, punching. It was pretty much like a UFC fight inside me. Baby VS Uterus. Baby won.
Today is a growing day. Not alot of kicking, punching, just moving and trying to come out "Alien" style. (remember the movie "Alien" when the thing came out the stomach)
But I feel so good. A lot more Braxton Hicks. My uterus is going to be the most fit uterus ever. Between the Pride Fights with the baby and the workouts the Braxton Hicks give it......
Anyway,
time to go party - It's New Years Eve!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Can't wait to meet you baby!

Back from the Amazon
So it looks like the wife and I have been a bit neglectful of our Blog.
Rest assured everything "baby wise" is going smoothly. We've been continuing our Bradley classes and I'm beginning to make a list of things I'll need for the hospital.
In one of our classes the husband instructor gave a talk about his experiences with his first time and what he would have done different, lots of stuff to think about. So as strange as it sounds (and my future sister in-law found it HILARIOUS) I'm going through my hiking gear to find just the things I'll need. No I won't be packing a Swiss Army knife "just in case" but much of the clothing I have is made for comfort while wearing it for long periods, that combined with some trail type snacks and I should be good to go. Besides if this takes too long I know of some nice hiking trails near the hospital I can sneak off to.
The baby is really developing fast now. His/her kicks are getting much harder and it's pretty easy for me to feel it when he/she kicks.
We found out that whenever the baby is kicking/moving, if I start to talk the baby will stop moving. It was frustrating at first because Mom-2-be would call me over to feel the baby, but as soon as I did, nothing. Now we know why. Little stinker.
Ok, that's my quick update. Hopefully more will follow soon,
