Minor Achievements & New Moves

Highlights from the weekend: I went "running" and I went to church. It has been a looooong time since I have done either of those things. Felt good, and I'm hoping I've re-started a trend...

Tonight as I was typing in bed--laptop balanced on belly--the whole computer suddenly jumped up. I picked it up and moved it aside and stared at my belly. Sieby* was kicking up a storm, and, for the first time, I could see her moves from the outside. I only wish the Gutsy Dad was here to put a hand on top of Sieby's belly-bucking antics.

*Sieby is pronounced Zee-Bee and is Baby #2's in utero nickname. Many of you may remember that Jills was known as Fuenfy when she was in utero, because she was the fifth grandchild on both sides of our family and also the fifth girl of all the cousins. (Fuenf=five in German.) Uncle Dave and Aunt Heather are expecting grandchild #6 on my side of the family, which makes Jillson's little sister #7. Sieben=seven in German.

Wonderful! It the first time Angus was visible from the outside was as I was lying on a Dentist's chair having my teeth cleaned by a hygienist! She flinched and so did I as her scraper flinched too! Gutsy Dad will be home soon - it's weeks now isn't it, the homestretch.
