Quickening
Yesterday Andy finally got to feel a couple movements from our new baby. Twenty-two and a half weeks along and Daddy says, "So you're not making all this up, huh?" *pause* "Unless you've got some sort of magnet system set up in there." Only an engineer.
Today Gid kept his hand firmly pressed to my belly for a long while in hopes he'd get to feel our baby, too. He felt a small flutter but nothing satisfying, so he stayed put, waiting. After a while he looks up at me with a sweet smile, "Do you know what I'm starting to feel?"
"What, honey?"
"Impatient." Oh, I love that boy!

It's a woodblock print on Japanese paper. Isn't it breathtaking?!!?! I want, I want, I want!
Hi!
Congratulations! I know where you are all too well.
The piece is still available. I took it down for a show and must have forgotten to put it back up on Etsy.
Feel free to email me.

I can't get E to sit still long enough to feel the baby (and he wouldn't have to sit that long!). I'm kinda bummed.
