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,

HikerDad

can't wait to hear wife's response to
"sneaking off" part... hahahaha
better see if those supplies include a rope, and then HIDE IT, cause she reads this and you're gonna be tied to a hospital bed.
