Favorite New Activity

As an ignorant, single, 20 year old, I once asked a new mom what she did all day.  I didn't mean to be rude (oops), I just wondered what it was that kept parents so busy.  Since getting pregnant, several people have informed us that we'll spend most of our time just staring at the baby.  I guess I've already started, because I stare at my belly constantly, hoping to call Peter over in time to see her kick.  It really is more exciting than it looks!

Little by little, I'm learning that our baby girl has a mind of her own.  I'll kindly prod her to kick, beg her to kick, try and persuade her...nothing happens.  Then when I'm least expecting it...adorable little kicks, elbow stabs, and body rolls! I guess this is just the first of many times that she'll be demonstrating her independence.  I should just get used to it now... :)
