Moving Around

For the past few weeks I've started to notice movement. In the past few days I found that there is a pattern to when they sleep and when they're active. Luckily most of the movement is during the day. I'm sure that will change though. Sometimes it catches me off guard....All of a sudden I will get this little jab. It always brings a smile to my face and will always bring Dave running to see if they will do it again. Most of the time though the "daddy sensor" is on. As soon as he comes near they stop. Sometimes we can fool them. I will whisper that he needs to come over and I will slowly remove my hand so that Dave can place his down. What a wonderful feeling knowing that that is something we created together.

A Father's Fancy

I felt our baby move today,
it affected me in a profound way.
To think that I and my wife
Could together create this little life.

I can't wait to hold a tiny hand,
For the cries I will not understand,
And the look of boundless joy
Upon discovering a brand new toy.

I truly long to be a father,
With anything else I can not bother,
To hold our child in my embrace
And gaze upon their beautiful face.

Tests you can't study for

This past Monday I elected to have some prenatal tests done just to be on the safe side. I had to have some blood drawn....but only 3 vials this time compared to the 8 the first time. The tests were a triple screen and a cystic fibrosis blood test. I wanted to have them done just because there are a few hereditary disease that run in my family. I wasn't worried about something being wrong. I knew I would pass these tests with flying colors. The lab told me it would take about 2 weeks to get my results back. Dave and I figured we would get the results at our next appointment, but today I received a personal call phone from my doctor saying that everything was ok. What a wonderful doctor to take time to call me and let me know I had past my tests.

Thank you Dr. Knapp.
