Soccer Player, Tae Bo instructor, or Rockette?


It's been literally only 30 minutes since our first glimpse of future stardom, via a single powerful kick.  Flutter-flutter turned to heart beat cadence, and then, BLAWWWW!!  This monstrous rocket off the uterine wall shook my hand and heart, respectively.  It was the first visceral connection between father and son, a prenatal high-five of sorts, a Rocky sparring session with his punching bag (mom's not excited for the prospect of that over the next 4 months).  

On another note, registries are up and running.  You can find them at:
-Baby's R Us
-Target
 
21 Weeks = back pain, right upper rib pain, scattered sleep, nursery color choices, free baby hand-me-downs, name ponderings, future budgeting, and an ever-growing mommy belly.  


"Making the decision to have a child is momentous.  It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." - Elizabeth Stone
