Things My Husband Says...

And I quote: "Your belly makes your butt look small, tiny."

I took this as a compliment:)

Happy 24 weeks to LT today!

Playing games with LT

Lately, LT has been very active at night. He is most active after we have had dinner and are sitting around relaxing and watching TV or when we are in bed reading. Last night, while I was reading the latest issue of Real Simple, Geoffrey uncovered my belly and very loudly said "ONE" then proceeded to poke my belly once. He then said "TWO" and poked my belly twice. He repeated this pattern a few times. This is a game he discovered while reading a chapter out of  The Expectant Father which suggested that he start playing games with LT. At first LT was non-responsive, perhaps wondering why daddy was yelling and what the heck was poking at him. But after a while, he started to kick back after Geoffrey would poke my belly. I think the point of the game is to stimulate LT (he should be kicking back the amount of times corresponding to the number/poke) and to help dad bond with baby. Geoffrey and I were so fascinated, even though LT only got "one" down. We'll work on "two" tonight...
