Memoirs

[Mel1977]

Avalanche - what a beautiful idea! We always remember the sadness we have about our bubs but never really talk about the good times. Yours and Bailey's memories made me smile.

I remember I used to laugh cause I used to torment poor little Nicholas. I used to have a cup of tea in the evening and I used to sit the hot cup on my belly and he used to start kicking at it. I know it was probably a little mean cause he didnt like it but I loved the feeling of him kicking so much and I also got a thrill out of knowing I could get him to react to me. I also remember when I had my 22 week ultrasound feeling a little kick and I happened to be watching the screen at the same time and it was such a spin out to watch him kick at the same time as me feeling it. Nicholas used to torment people too, everyone wanted to feel him kick but he would only ever kick for me or DH. When I could feel him I would say to whoever was there put your hand here, and he would stop - little bugger LOL. Although he did kick for my 6 year old stepson, he thought it was amazing - he yanked his hand away and just stared at me like I had an alien in my belly. Both he and his sister (my stepdaughter) thought it was cool seeing him move in my belly from the outside - actually I have to admit so did I, its wonderful to remember that. I could sit and watch my belly for hours while he just kicked around. He was such an active baby. He also did what Bailey's little girl Asha did and every night in bed he got really active (as they do) and DH used to put his hand on my belly and speak into it and say you be nice to your mother and he used to kick his hand, and one time he kicked DH in the nose. We laughed and I said well you've been told.

Oh I could just sit here all night and talk about the happy memories I have, I have such a grin on my face now - thank you God I wish I was pregnant!
