3 World Cup of Pregnancy

Just as the 2010 World Cup of Soccer premieres this month so has the kicking from our daughter. Sure the sonogram we saw earlier in the month was proof that we are parents, but there's nothing like feeling a kick to absolutely remove all doubt. It's very tangible now. Lina's new thing is to abruptly announce when the baby kicks mid-sentence similar to how "Dug" the talking dog from the movie "UP" abruptly announces when he spots a squirrel. It has become the nightly ritual for me to lay my hand on Lina's belly awaiting for our little goalie to kick. So far the kicks are very subtle, but you can feel them none the less.
