That's our boy


That's our boy, originally uploaded by Kodamakitty.

Honestly, I thought I would have blogged more about this by now! So here's the lowdown - I am now 21 weeks along and our baby boy is starting to make himself very known to me. At first I thought it was gas, but now the sort of blips and flips are like nothing else. I can see why some moms report a sort of secret connection to their baby - no one else can feel the exact same thing you are, and the timing of the little kicks and turns can seem to be in response to what I am thinking or feeling.

For instance, on Wednesday morning, I hit the snooze button and thought, "Ok Benji, let's get a few more minutes" and I could swear I felt a small affirmative pat inside.

I do hope to go back and fill in all the details very soon, but for now, we are having a boy, his name will most likely be Benjamin Alexander (pending our first face to face meeting, of course) and things have been blessedly, thankfully, amazingly uneventful. With these flutters it has finally started to hit home that I am actually pregnant - it was such a happy accident that it felt like jinxing things to be too certain. I can't wait to meet him!
