A Father Writes ... about moving through the trimesters

So we have really been moving forward since I last wrote; we've had hospital dramas, possible breach scenarios and two of their future friends have been born. But the constant has been the delight I've still felt every time I feel my precious child moving around.

Our interaction has really changed; they've gone from random little kicks and punches when we happen to have our hands on Stella's expanding bump, to responding with bigger blows when I tap quickly on her skin to our current favourite game: I hold my hand on Stel's bump until a curious limb comes pushing up, and then I feel out the whole limb and we move about Mummy's skin with pushes and prods: great fun!

It's also been great Ryan and Zavier and trying to work out what part of each parent they seem to have; and it's making us think about how our child will look. I'm seeing them with slightly yellowish skin, mummy's rich brown hair and eyes, and daddy's strong nose, with probably a fair bit of chub from both of us! Whatever, we know that they'll be the most beautiful baby in the world to us.
