21 Weeks and Kickin'!

We are 21 weeks today, and last night was big night for Philip...we had just finished up dinner and I was sitting on the couch when Kinsley starting kicking away. I placed my hand on the outside of my belly, and there was no doubt I could feel her kick against the palm of my hand! I called for Philip to get in here, muted the TV (not sure why - maybe I thought the sound of TMZ in the background would be distracting), placed his hand where mine was and asked him to be patient while I barely moved a muscle...then she kicked...hard...twice! (I think she is going to be a soccer player...Philip thinks dancer because she moves a lot when there is music around). He felt some little flutters and then the two strong kicks right to my abdomen! His facial expression was priceless...a HUGE smile. My favorite thing that he keeps saying to me is, "I cannot wait to meet her"...well that, and asking every time we chat over the phone at work, or when we are getting ready for bed, or waking up in the morning: "how are you, babe...and how's our little Kinsley?" This is one daddy-to-be that cannot to meet his little girl...although I think I might have scared him last night when I asked if he thought she would be an avid shopper like her momma... :)
