Thank you my friends, it is probably the 3or4th best thing to ever happen to me.
My own two births on the top of my list.
We haven't done much yet with the babies room, afraid of jinxing I guess.
After the ultra sound Laura bought the baby it's first out fit. A Mickey Mouse suit, she's been collecting Mickey ever since she was a kid.I half expect the babies room to be a show case for Mickey stuff.
Her husband collects Hummers.
We torment them saying the baby has all the toys it will ever need, with the reply always being" he won't be aloud to touch them, their our toys" ;D
I can't wait to see how that works for them. :D
What a joy he is already.

Something so cool happened last night.
My daughter came to visit, and we were chatting about the baby.
She said he moves lots, but her Hubby hasn't got to feel yet.
She said he likes to move the most when she gets into bed.
That seems to go on for life :2funny:
Anyway, he kicked. ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was the first to feel outside his Mom.
Out of the mouths of Babes eh!
I guess my Grandson knew Nanny needed a hug! ::kiss99::

That is so neat!!  I know you were so excited!

I remember how wonderful it felt to have the baby wiggling inside of me.  But toward the end my babies would kick all night and keep me awake.  So I would snuggle up to my husband and stick my big tummy into the small of his back.  That way when the baby kicked me it also kicked him!  :D  I figured if I had to be up all night he might as well share the joy!!

Its so terrifying to think I will be watching my little girl go through it one day!  They grow up so fast!!!

Feeling them move like that is the only enjoyable part of being pregnant. I loved it! I would lay on the couch and poke around to make them move.

::silly::When my son was born 36 years ago, we didn't do sonograms to find out if it was a he or a she or even if it was twins.  My son would do his calisthenics so strongly, once the doctor said I might be having twins when he felt movement in five places at the same time.  ::banana::
    His second favorite thing was to stretch out one leg and lock it in place ... I could get a hold on his little ankle and tickle his foot ... this was the only way to get him to stop.  His favorite thing was to put his little back to the front where I could rub it ... he still loves to have his back rubbed!
    It may have been 36 years ago, but the memories are still clear ... I don't think you ever forget them.  :blush2:

No not a second of it, how cool is that.
I hope the kids are reading this thread, they'll see some of what their Moms feel for them. ::wub:: ::KissKissBig::
You never know exactly until you've enjoyed being there yourself.

Well can you believe she's 36 weeks.
We or should I say I got a bit of a rush last week when she had her first visit with the gyny.
She said the baby is too small. Laura was the size of a 30 week at 34 weeks.
She ordered a gestational ultra sound in a hurry and we had it done this morning, my Birthday.
I got to see my Grandson, all 5 pounds and 15 ounces of him. That's just a good estimate by the Tech.'s.
That's a very good weight and they say he should get to 8-9 pounds if she goes full term.
She still only has 14 & 3/4 pounds on, @ 8 months. That's why the Gyny was concerned.
Not to worry says Laura, he's way too active to have any problems.
I watched him turn his little head, punch his two little fists into his Mom, and he's now working those lung muscles so you can see his chest rise and fall just as if her were breathing.
I couldn't have thunk of a better way to spend my 46th birthday. ::gobananago:: ::banana::

She'll never know I posted this  :D

Wow Debbie,

Now that is one birthday you'll never forget!  How exciting getting to see those ultrasounds of the grandson!  The picture of your daughter is so nice, I just think a pregnant woman is so beautiful.  Looks like you need to start a scrapbook!
I know you will keep us updated and post pictures of the sweetie when he makes his grand entrance into the world.  Can't wait!  Congrats again!
