Our theme for Father's Day this year was alien/monsters. I thought it was very fitting. This was the picture drawn on the card by a very talented boy. Can you see the little alien/monster in by belly? I say alien/monster with affinity and great affection of course, they are very welcome in our family. Yes I really do have one in there. A baby boy, a sweet baby ready to make his debut before the end of the year. See how he has those little horns on his head. Well I was very shocked at 16 weeks to feel a little pain in my lower tummy. I thought something must be wrong, no one had ever said that it's painful to feel the baby kick, so of course I thought there was something wrong. It felt like little jabs with a small needle or horns. When my next appointment came I asked the doctor and she just smiled. "oh you didn't know you signed up to be a punching bag?" she asked. I guess I didn't. She told me that right now it's the equivelant of someone poking you on a very sore muscle over and over again, it gets a little bruised. And then I saw it with my own eyes, the little stinker was using be like a punching bag. Cute little one, he can't help it. Now it doesn't hurt anymore, but he sure does remind me that he's in there.
