16w6d - 23w1d to go

Kick, kick, kick!

That is what has been going on all morning - more when I sit down (I think the baby likes it when I move around and gets mad when I'm sitting)! He/she is in there just going pop, pop, poppoppoppoppoppoppoppoppoppoppop. It is a WAY weird feeling but very cool all at the same time. Very different from the subtle movements I had been feeling.

Things are still going well, otherwise. I could complain about the horrible sciatic pain and headaches I've been having, but I won't. I'm just happy the little one is happy and healthy in there.

Speaking of that, we were out and about this weekend and came across two amazing new moms! The first was Scott's co-worker's wife, who had a baby girl two weeks ago and was at the company Christmas party dancing up a storm! I haven't even had the baby yet and I sure didn't feel like dancing (my being an idiot and wearing high heels to the party sure didn't help in that respect). All I could think when I watched her dancing was - WOW! I sure hope that I feel that good two weeks after having the baby! She looked fantastic and was out having a good time - they even stayed later than we did!

The next day, we're out and about doing our Christmas shopping, when we ran into Cristy (our wedding photographer/friend) and her family...including her brand new baby girl, Camdyn, who was just over 24 hours old at that point. Wow again! I think that's so brave and amazing to go through birth and still be strong enough to get up and do what you need to do the next day. The baby is beautiful, and Cristy looked amazing. Congrats and kudos to the whole family!! I hope to be that strong for my family and child.

That's the news report from here - lunch is over, and I've got a meeting to attend to so I am going to stop here.
