The other day on my break at work, I put my feet up and rested a book on my round basketball tummy and settled down to read. About ten minutes into it, little James decided that he did not appreciate having a book resting on his home. He mustered up a large kick and the book bounced on my tummy. It was so funny I laughed out loud. I guess he is a bit protective of his personal space…a lot like his mama in that regard and spunky like his daddy!
Later that night I was sound asleep in bed. Tim got home from a late shift and snuggled down next to me, rubbing on my belly as we chatted a bit about the day. Little James had been pretty quiet and sleep that evening, but all of a sudden, it was like little James recognized daddy’s touch and voice, and he gave several large, strong kicks all in a row. He was making himself known to daddy! And did Tim love it! It was pretty neat to see the two of them “communicating”.
I love this little boy and can’t wait to meet him. Apparently this week he is 13 ½ inches long and is getting hair. I hope he looks just like his dad.
I remember Camden doing that with me, very special. You guys are in for an amazing experience. It will be the hardest and the best change of your life! Hard because we have lived so selfishly and kids have a way of forcing you to give up some of those things you thought were important. The best because there is nothing better! ;)
