a little humor
March 27, 2007our little one apparently is showing signs of taking a lot from his/her dad this early. aside from his/her appetite (hehe peace hubby), he/she has taken his/her dad's sense of humor.
almost two (2) weeks ago, hubby and i were fooling around the house (old house in Makati, we now moved to a bigger and better house in Cainta). he downloaded new mp3s as ringtones for his mobile. one of the songs he got was a novelty song popularized by a noon time show - Eat bulaga. That song is titled "Itaktak mo". I told him I really don't like the song and as if to annoy me even more, he was placing his mobile so much closer to me while he had his other arm and his legs pinning me (he calls it the CooCoo lock). And then our baby decided to join in the fun and conspired with his/her father. All of a sudden I felt him/her kicking hard several times. To which I asked amidst amazement and laughter: "Hoy bakit ka sumisipa jan?" while rubbing my baby bump. My husband who then became hysterical with laughter decided to play the song again and put the phone closer to my tummy. While I was trying my best to block his hand with my arm. We ended up laughing really hard and talking to the little one inside my now big tummy.
Gee, can't wait for the ultrasound that we're going to go through on April 10. Will blog about it as soon as we're done with it. 
first kick
March 8, 2007eighteen (18) weeks and one (1) day at around 1:15pm yesterday, my baby kicked me hard. my reaction was somewhat late since i was unfamiliar to the sensation and was then having lunch at my mom's place. i had to stop chewing for a few seconds to think about what happened. after about a few seconds, the realization that the baby just kicked me finally has finally sink in. and i was darn ecstatic. that was perhaps two (2) or three (3) hard kicks.
when i went back to our house (2 streets away from my mom's), i roused my husband from his deep slumber to tell him about what happened. his sleepiness left him right away and he started feeling my tummy and talking to the little fellah inside asking him to do one more kick for daddy. too bad the baby is probably asleep already or no longer in the mood. his dad had to sleep off his feelings of jealousy. im sure in the future i will be pleading with the baby to lessen the kicks, but more now we're just way too excited.
this morning he kicked again while his dad was watching an anime dvd. seems like the little fellah wanted to tease his/her dad that he/she stopped kicking the minute i placed hubby's hand on my tummy. hubby is so excited and he kept on asking me how does it feel to have the baby kick me. and i guess i just really dont have a way to describe it to him. i mean yeah its easy to say that something is kicking you from inside but then again when i havent felt the baby do that, i was also wondering how it will feel. oh well, it is amazingly wonderful.
