Grinning

Felt Olivia moving around for the first time! Couldn't tear myself away, Rebecca kicked me off after getting sick of my head on her belly.

Oh yes

Joe used to have a routine. Katy and I used sit on the bed at night talking and he'd go crazy, kicking around. Second I put my hand on Katy's tummy he'd settle (like someone poised when they're listening). My voice is reasonably deep, so he could probably feel the vibrations as I spoke (they pick up on a remarkable amount of sounds apparently). T'was very cool indeed.

Bizarre to think that only a short while later and (like this evening) he's laying in my arms, dozing off to sleep (after a bottle of warm whole milk, who wouldn't?)

Oh uh, my voice is remarkably similar to a chattering monkey (true), I'll settle for putting my hand and ear on rebecca's belly in as meaningful manner as possible. I can settle for that:)

Seeing it is pretty awesome too. Almost unbelievable to experience when it's not even your own.

I wonder if reading to the baby at that stage has any (proven) benefits.
