2009

The year of the birth of my first-born.

Shortly before midnight on New Years Eve, while laughing and sipping my tonic and lime, I stopped mid-sentence and my eyes popped wide. There it was, unmistakable. My baby, tap-tap-tapping away inside me. A new year's "hello" from the little stranger who has yet to make her/himself known.

I am blown away.

WOW! That so so exciting! Hello baby Jost! and Congrats Lauren!

(I'm still waiting, but all I'm feeling is gurgly tummy.)

Oh, man, what a way to ring in the new year.

Feeling the baby move is still a pretty nice secret. No one can tell (usually) and it's particularly nice to feel your very own baby when, say, in the middle of a dullsville meeting.
