The New House and the Karate Kid

Hey guys,
I am back for my weekly update on the mom-to-be and life in general. Susan came home on Wednesday evening. Yaaayyyy!!! I am very happy to have her home. I had felt a little absent from the pregnancy up until now because she had not been here a lot of the time because of how sick she was. Her mom (Dale) and stepdad (Joe) have done a wonderful job of taking care of her the way that only a parent can. So, I want to thank them for taking care of both of the new members of my own family!! She is able to drive and cook for herself now, so being here is much more feasible with me being at work all day. You know, we take a lot of things for granted, but I try to let Susan know all the time how much of a blessing it is to wake up and look over and see the person that you love. It gets your day off to a good start, even if the first thing they say is "Can you get me a little glass of milk?". :p
We are getting moved into our new house over the next few days. Susan drove over yesterday while I was at work and started unpacking boxes and putting her town touch on the house. It fits us just right, and I am excited about our new place.
As for our little man, whom we have affectionately started calling a name at this point, he is 23 three weeks as of yesterday. Susan is getting a little belly now, and it all is beginning to feel very real. Last night we were laying across the bed talking, and all of a sudden she grabbed my hand and put it on her belly. I was scared that she was hurting or something, but she told me that he was kicking. And to date the most amazing thing I have felt was my little man kicking right at my hand. And either he was running in a dream or practicing for judo in the 2030 Olympics. IOr perhaps he was doing some squats and getting ready for something. Who knows, but it was amazing and it made me laugh and grin like a cat!! We are very fond of our little boy already, and the best is yet to come. Until next time!
