Baby update

I realized the other day that I've not really posted that much about my love for my moving belly. This kid is entertaining! She is very active in there at different times in the day, and there's 3 different scenes:

1) I like to call the first phenomenon "baby earthquake". My whole belly shakes and shudders, as she gets comfy in there. I have no clue what she's doing, but it's very funny. I like to pull my shirt tight and stare at it.

2) Kicks. I think we have a soccer player in there. I'll see small bumps, caused by a fast-moving appendage. I poke back, and usually get rewarded with another.

3) Finally we have the bump caused by an errant head or bottom. It sticks out in a large section, and sometimes travels.

Also, as the day goes on, my belly gets tighter and my belly button slowly moves its way into an outie. There, I've admitted it.

Almost week 33 - month 8 -- as a teaser I will say that the fruit that Bambino is this month just happens to exactly coincide with the name of my current favorite CD, which came out just last week. Eerie, huh?

I think if a "bambino/a" is playing soccer, we should call it "calcio."

Perhaps she's practicing for her role as giocatore di calcio!

I think A-mee-lia is doing jumping jacks. Or better yet, like her cousin Eli, she's practicing her gymnastics routine -- !!! That means that her hair will be red, like Eli's! (oh, and yours & mine - !)
You're progressing well, and we can't wait to see A-mee-lia! By the way Dad's making great progress on the rocking chair -- it looks great!

Love, Mom & Dad
