For the past few weeks now I've been able to feel little kicks and movements in my belly which makes the everything feel that much more real. Last night I even was able to watch my belly move as the baby was kicking up a storm. Unfortunately, every time I told Tim to look the movements stopped - looks like someone has stage fright.
With 4 months left in the countdown I'm starting to feel the stress of needing to buy baby items. I have a list of 'essential items' and it's still 4 pages long! Hopefully we can find some (or most) of the required items second hand. Tim and I are going to try our best not to fall victim to the hype of "buy buy buy". Although, I'm sure there are going to be a few things I can't resist along the way :)
Kickboxing has started to feel much different lately. I definitely notice my centre of balance changing and my endurance level has started to diminish. Luckily I've been doing more teaching lately, which means I can take sneaky breaks to help out other students :) I'm not sure how much longer I should keep going, but friends from kickboxing that have gone through the exact same thing say that I can go right up to the 8th month as long as everything feels okay. Maybe I'll transition to just teaching for the last month - I guess I'll play it by ear.
We're getting excited to meet our new little bundle and to find out whether it's a boy or a girl. Now for the hard part.....trying to pick out names!
