Our fun little experiments…

We have been doing lots of reading about what the baby can sense in the womb, and this point, we have understood that his eyes are starting to open so he reacts to light shone directly on the belly. And he also reacts to the sounds he hears. So, we thought we’d try.

So, a couple weeks ago (we aren’t sure of the date), we got a flashlight and started shining it at the belly. He started kicking wherever we shined it! And we’re not talking the cute, “Oh, there he kicked” type kicking. We are talking as hard as he could, and we were literally watching my belly move like crazy whenever he kicked. It was nuts. He just went crazy. It was fun.

Then last night, we took Adam’s iphone, and started playing some fun dance type music. He started “dancing” to the rhythm of the music. This reaction wasn’t as intense as the one to the light, but he seemed to have a good time. Then we changed it to a song with a stronger bass beat, but he seemed to like the song with the faster, dance type rhythm. After we stopped playing the music, he just kept on going for about 20 or so minutes. It was pretty cool (except for the fact that I was trying to go to sleep). 🙂

Anyway, those were our fun little experiments. 🙂 We’re excited.

Because we forgot

It’s a boy!!!

P.S. He hasn’t actually come yet, but we somehow neglected to share the good news.

When the baby moves in, the dog moves out…

 

She’s not really moving out, but you get the idea. 🙂 

Our Sad News

Well, a couple weeks ago we posted a post saying that we were having our first child.  While it was true then, events over the weekend rendered it untrue.  We are sad to have lost this child, but we know that it is what was in the plan for us and our family.  We are grateful for the prayers and thoughts of all those around us.  Thank you for all of your love and support through this difficult time in our lives.
