Thirty tiny toes, tickling my tummy

May 4th, 2008 by Jaclyn

So I started feeling movement this week.  The doctors call it quickening, but I think tickling is a much more accurate term.  When the Chislets move around, it feels like little bubbles tickling the inside of my belly.  I usually feel them move a couple times a day and I tend to concentrate more on the movement, than on what I am supposed to be doing.  Thursday, while work was going on around me – I was sitting there with a silly smile on face, thinking about the babies and taking in this new feeling.  Thank goodness that I work with such nice people!  They were all just as excited as I was when I told them that I was feeling the babies moving around!

I can’t wait until I can tell which of the babies is kicking.  Right now, most of what I feel is so low that I blame it on Baby “A”.  Poor Baby “A”, not even born yet and he is already getting blamed for everything!  I am also convinced that he is the one that pushes on my bladder at 3:00 AM, making me get out of bed long before I am ready to.

    Jaclyn & Seth–One of our grandkids set up your Blog website & I checked it today. So glad to hear that all is going well with the Chislets and you are looking forward to BGB! I also read Seth’s blog & was surprised to hear about the job change. It’s hard to believe he was with IBM for 8 years. Lots of changes for your family this year!! I think Seth would remember our granddaughter Katie, married on the same day you were almost 3 years ago. She just told us this week that she & Josh are expecting their lst baby next November. The next generation is coming on fast! Take care of yourselves. We love hearing news of your “progress.” Love, Great-Aunt Margaret & Uncle Dave.

    Hello!

    I had a dream last night that the babies came and nobody told me! What a life change to go through. It must be so exciting, scary, anxious, ambiguous, and joyous all at the same time! How cool for you two to be chosen to lead this unique family. I’m excited to see what you as a family will represent and communicate to everyone else. Can’t wait to meet everyone, can’t wait to see you this weekend!
