24 Week Belly

It is hard to believe that we are already getting close to the end of our 24th week. It is even harder to believe that come Thanksgiving we will be finishing our 6th month and starting the third and final trimester. HOLY COW!

Tootsie is getting very active. I had a very proud dad moment just last week. I had to travel for work and was gone Wednesday night. Jamie said that the baby wasn’t moving around as much as the day before. I kept telling Jamie it was because Tootsie missed their Daddy. When I came home Thursday night before we went to bed I read Tootsie’s book out loud to Jamie’s belly. Once I finished and set the book down it looked like Jamie ate a stick of dynamite. Boom Boom Boom! Tootsie was pushing and prodding at the inside of Mom’s belly. I was so happy that Tootsie became so active after hearing the book I read. It made me feel like Tootsie really did miss me. I can’t wait till the day where I do have to go away for a night for work and come home to a rambunctious kid that is more excited to see me than anything else. It pulled at the heartstrings.

I keep trying to get a video tape of Tootsie pounding on Mom’s belly. I will hopefully capture it soon. Then you can all see the excitement. Until next time…
