It's gonna be a soccer player!

Clare told me earlier this week that she's been trying to get Ross to be able to feel the baby kick. By the time she actually manages to get his hand on her belly, it seems that Bucky has already quieted down.

Today, she sent me this news:

"This morning I wasn't feeling well (Ross had passed a head cold on to me) and it was my turn to stay on the couch. While Ross was sweetly getting me breakfast, Bucky began moving about. There seemed to be more movement than ever before so I called to Ross to hurry and come feel the belly. A few seconds after he placed his hand on my stomach, his eyes got wide and he started grinning. 'Oh, WOW!' he said, as he looked at me.

He finally felt it! When I asked him what he thought it felt like, he replied, 'Like someone kicking me through your uterus.'  Good answer...

After eating breakfast, we were sitting there staring at the bulge and it moved! It was just a little spot -- a quick outward punch. But, we saw it! It's so incredible. Bucky is creating all this entertainment for us and I'm sure the kid doesn't even care.

A new thing is happening, as well. Usually the movements are quick and pinpointed, just kicks or punches, but lately I swear Bucky's entire body sometimes presses against my stomach all at once. It makes my entire belly tight and a little bulgier. It's pretty funny. Next time it happens, I think I'll rub the spot to see if I can get a reaction."
