Sweet Poppy, I am so excited to see you in a couple days! I really cannot wait!! A tiny little part of me is sad that you will lose the nickname we've come to love, because we can then start calling you by your real name... but that's okay. I'll be thrilled to know what to really call you, and thrilled to be able to move forward with our preparations for you! :)
As of yesterday, your little flutters and tickles and movements have progressed to pokes or jabs or kicks. Instead of a little tickle or a funny shifting feeling.. I can feel a quick jab here, and poke there and I LOVE IT! Last night, after eating a big bowl of oatmeal with quite a bit of brown sugar on it, you got to kicking me like crazy! At one point I put my hand on my belly just hoping I'd be able to feel you on the outside and share this with your daddy, and I could!!! You kicked my fingers!!! Daddy rushed over and put his hand on my belly, then you got stage fright. Daddy gave up after a couple minutes and went back in the kitchen, and not 20 seconds later you started poking me again.. Daddy ran back and waiting again. Nothing. Finally, he just sat down next to me and held his hand there, and when I kinda pressed his hand down a little harder, you poked him!!! He got all wide-eyed and asked if that was you or me (your daddy is silly like that sometimes) and when I told him it was you, I could tell he was so proud. I am so glad you finally invited your daddy in on this adventure! I can't wait til we both can feel you everyday. I haven't felt you poking around yet today (but I have been really busy with your cousin), so I am about to eat something sweet to see if I can get ya dancin' in there! :)
We love you baby. Happy 18 weeks in there.
See you in just a couple days, love bug.
