For the few weeks since I started feeling movement, Karen's been putting her hand on my belly. So far, neither of us have felt anything from the outside, but that all changed last night. Lounging after dinner, I noticed that he was pretty active. Karen reached her hand out and BAM - he kicked us both -- hard! It was probably the strongest kick I've felt, and the fact that she got to feel it too made it pretty cool. The look on her face wasn't bad either.

Since we found out that he's a boy, everything's felt much more real. From registering for big items to looking at
Threadless onesies, I can't help but imagine him doing all sorts of little boy things. I wonder if he'll kiss someone in kindergarten and get in trouble like I did. I wonder if he'll be into sports or reading or both. I think about how he'll smell. I wonder what he'll be wearing the first time he smiles at us.
Also, I'd like to thank you all for your comments on baby tubs and wipe warmers and the like. I think I have
beaten her into submission covinced her that we should try out lots of items to decide what we will need.
