For Cousin Patty



Here's my "updated belly pic", upon request from Cousin Patty...

21 Weeks

22 Weeks

8/29/07

The babe is REALLY moving around! It feels like she's doing kickboxing. No slight rolling or anything like that, just ramming the sides of her doting mommy's abdomen.

I was reading (a lot) this weekend & took a couple of moments to sit back & look down at my belly. It was like a muscle spasm every 20-30 seconds. I could SEE my belly moving from the baby's punches! Even Blaine could see it. It was so weird, yet not weird all at the same time.

I bet my baby is doing flip-turns: swimming from side to side & pushing off the left to flip over & swim to the right. Yeah, I've got a swim prodigy in my belly.

In other news:

I started school on Monday, August 27th (hence the reading all labor day weekend). This Master's business is tough - SO MUCH READING!!! I do enjoy the subject matter, and it is very relevant to my everyday life (philosophy) and to my job (Research Methods & evaluation). I am excited to catch up to Amanda & Jodi in the education department. I am even more excited to achieve this goal (on my list of 100 things to do in my life cousin Patty!).

To paraphrase my latest reading - please excuse the absence of a citation...

"If anything is worth the doing, it is worth doing badly."

(an argument for leisure)
