Hi-ya!

El niño is kicking. Or rather, I can feel sonny-boy kicking now. I've actually been able to feel it for a couple of weeks, but didn't know what those little thumps were until I saw him moving on the ultrasound and felt my uterus bottom go "boi-oi-oi-oi-oing" at the same time. I assumed it was my stomach digesting.

I've had three separate practitioners tell me that he moves a lot - so much so that he fuzzes up all the heartbeat dopplers. I hope this isn't a foreboding that he'll be one of those kids with so much energy that he'll be running on the ceilings...then again, that may be the occasional caramel frappuchino remnants that get through placenta.
