Can you tell I'm excited?! Man, I can't believe this is happening!!! His kicks are getting stronger and stronger, too. They feel more like actual limbs, and I can tell the difference now between rolling around and flailing arms and legs. Squidgey's favourite past time right now is tap dancing on my bladder and colon. It is the absolute most bizarre feeling. He has also kicked Jon in the mouth when Jon has been talking into my belly :-)

Our child is going to have wonderfully eclectic taste in music. Since he has been in utero, he has been to The Misfits (old punk band that has been around for 20 years), a Reggae festival, Delirious? (xian band), and Carlos Santana (last night). That Santana gig was AMAZING!!! Man, it had to be the best show I have ever been to.

On another note, we are going to Montana for two weeks this Saturday (the 16th), and I am soo excited! My friend Julie just had her baby girl last week. It is a blessing that I am pregnant now, because I don't know how I would have handled going out there if I wasn't. Julie got pg a month after I did, and then I lost the baby. Our other baby would be a month old now.... but, God has a plan! If I wasn't pg, he would have helped me through some other way....

I am getting back on track with the food and exercise thing. Exercise has been difficult. Last year I went on a peace and reconciliation walk around Northern Ireland and blew out both my Achilles tendons and my hips. So, now they act up every now and then, and I can't always exercise. But, I have gotten back on my Barleygreen and juicing, and try to eat only good-for-me-and-baby stuff. It doesn't always work, though.

Ok, that is enough for today!!! I hope all of you have a great time this week!!!!

Love,

Amy H and Squidge
