| | Well a lot has happened since the last post. From baby being a tiny cashew, fast-forwarding 3 1/2 months, baby has grown by leaps and bounds. Mary Ann's tummy's been growing for the past couple of months, and it's neat seeing the progress. It's also cool tracking baby's growth -- now baby is 14 inches long and almost 2 pounds. Mary Ann also only has morning sickness now, as opposed to all-day sickness that plagued her the entire 1st trimester and on through the 2nd. Now we're enjoying the 2nd trimester and a slight return to normalcy. I like that we can cook and wash dishes together again.
Probably the thing I love most right now is baby's movements. Mary Ann's been feeling baby inside for a few weeks now. I LOVE it when she tells me "boomp" whenever she feels a nudge inside. I've secretly been jealous of her, but I'm glad she has at least a little pleasure, for all the pain and yuckiness she's had to put up with over the past 5-6 months. I've been so impatiently waiting for the time when baby gets big enough so I can see and feel baby with my hand. A few nights ago, Mary Ann said I should just try and see if I can feel baby. After a couple minutes of non-activity, I finally felt a tiny nudge on my hand.  "WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW," I exclaimed. I was easily the happiest dad in all the world -- I felt our baby for the first time ever!!! I don't think I'll ever get tired of that.
