Update: My Little Ninja Wu

August13

My little ninja wu’s name is Cullen Amiri. And, boy, is he a ninja!

The book was right….he moves all the time. He plays with his daddy (if he gets poked, he’ll punch him right back….I think that’s my fiestiness in him).

He lets me know when he’s hungry or when he’s waking up. His daddy lets him listen to Common and Coltrane, Kanye and Kool and the Gang…..durin music time, he’s chillin’.

He wakes me up at 4am every morning and takes his naps throughout the day.

Whoa! There he goes….stretching out. Like his daddy, he’s serious about his space.

Ouch! That one was kinda serious….sheesh! Now, I think he’s holding the black power fist up against my side.

In the words of my fellow Bison, Eric Roberson:

….that kid must love karate, my little ninja wu! I can’t wait ’til you get here so I can look at you. Will you have eyes like mama? Oooh! What about your smile? Will your first word be papa? Oooh! What a spoiled child?…from arms to arms and from pops to moms then from aunts and on and on….

Ok….real quick. So, I’m reading about the first couple of weeks of the second trimester and the books are telling me to get ready to feel the baby kick. YES!!!! I’m so excited about this part of pregnancy. Pro mothers (mothers who have been here and done this) have all told me that it feels like there’s an alien growing inside of you. Kinda wild, huh? Oooh, but, I love it.

One thing though….the book says that once I get over the initial recognition (which is probably gonna feel like that feeling you get when you’re about to go on serious drop on a roller coaster) then I should expect to feel some movement about 5x an HOUR! An HOUR???!!! OMG….I don’t even believe it. We’ll see.

I’ll keep you posted.
