First Hints of Movement

You catch us in the middle of this game, pregnancy. Not a game, though, please no clarifying comments, unless they're funny. Or warnings of portent. Remember--entertainment.

The middle, so we have seen our child, several times by sonogram. So we know he's there. One of the joys of this game, however, is the let's feel him moving. Just makes it so real. Weeks ago I swore to kelly that I had felt him. I now retract that statement, officially and publicly, because she didn't take it too well. She wanted to and by God's rules of engagement, she was by all means entitled to feel it first. I am not lying that I think I felt it, but I am retracting that it happened. I am a lawyer by education.

So yesterday, it's official and public, she felt it. In the morning, a quick flutter, she says, something not the product of involuntary bodily function, but of true human volition, I think. Anyway, I'd like to think my child has achieved a certain level of consciousness and now makes his own moves. His first song, a mozart tune that I forget the K number, but its good music before bed. We'll put in some hip-hop soon to keep him well-rounded.
