The Quickening

This last month has been significant for several reasons. First, Blinker has "popped" and now is out for the whole world to see. (More pix to come.) We had an ultrasound and found out he's doing fine. Also, I've felt him move -- the fun phenomena known as quickening (not to be confused in any way with the Highlander movie of the same name). I feel little taps and jabs all the time now. At first I thought it was gas bubbles or hunger pangs, but then found that the bumps are irregular and happen mostly at night or while I am working. Now I know it's Blinker moving around. It's a good feeling.

Note: that picture at left is not me -- we're not that big yet!
