Since most of our knowable interactions with baby at this point consist of baby kicking me, we have taken to calling the little guy "Kung Fu Panda" sometimes. Yesterday morning, Pete put his head on my belly to listen for any noise or vibrations from Baby Tebault. Sure enough, after a few moments of quiet, my whole belly bounced with a great big kick from the baby that nailed Pete square in the ear. It was a great kick and we've had some good laughs about the first time Baby kicked Daddy in the head, eventhough it was purely accidental. Boot to the head!
This brought back some happy 1980's memories for us and we thought we'd share a little "Boot to the Head" with you:

Pregnancy joy!
Today I feel very blessed for the privilege of being pregnant, especially in this time and place. As a newly inaugurated member of the population that understands the traumas, joys, discomforts, and life changing nature of pregnancy, I often marvel at how women in 3rd world countries and women in past generations survive(d) and thrive(d) during pregnancy. How does a pregnant gal get any sleep without a comfy mattress and 5,000 pillows to bolster the aching limbs and redistribute weight?
I got some new maternity clothes over the weekend (thanks Pete!) because I surprisingly outgrew the belly part of many of the maternity clothes I bought at the outset. I would like to take a moment to applaud the person who invented stretchy belly bands for the top of pants, shorts, etc. I bought some shorts and capris, which will likely be 99% of my wardrobe during this hot Phoenician summer, and I'm SO much more comfortable than I was without them. The belly is getting quite heavy these days and having the extra support around the belly feels nice too.
I still owe you all a video of the latest ultrasound and promise to publish one sometime before the baby arrives. I recently bought some new video editing software and have no idea how to use it; it wasn't as immediately user-friendly as I'd planned on. I'll likely get to the video project after our upcoming travel.
