I can’t believe how active this baby is. I always thought Devin was an active baby – he certainly was in the evenings. But I’m only 17 weeks and all week I’ve been feeling movement daily. Very consistent in the evenings, but also during the day I’m noticing I get kicks when I’m at my desk, in my car. It makes me wonder if this baby ever sleeps. I mean, I’ve been laying here for like 2 hours and the baby hasn’t stopped…. I keep getting more kicks – in the lower front, too. (Sometimes the lower left side, and those ones are a little ouchy!) I was shocked to feel movement as early as I did, and now I find myself still taken aback daily.

It amused me greatly that as I’m watching the penguin on Happy Feet dance around and tap his feet on TV I was feeling my little one tapping away inside.

It has started to snow, we are supposed to get 8″ is what they’re saying now (but that keeps changing). I have nowhere to be, nothing to do besides wrap presents, so I’ll just sleep in, eat, watch TV and do some wrapping. Sounds great. But… unfortunately it was also the day Den was supposed to be getting home – and he won’t be now. Had to rebook his flight for Monday. Bummer, but it’s probably better than trying to travel in a storm anyways. Everything should be cleaned up around here by Monday morning. (I love living in an area where we can get a huge storm and everything is back to normal the very next day.)
