jump, kick, flip
Posted by andromeda on June 29th, 2009 filed in baby boy, my sweet boyi’m sitting here trying to ignore the back-flips being done in my abdomen. i press gently with my right hand under my ribs on the right side and i feel something. is it a foot? a shoulder? what is little R doing in there? poking around some more (because i can’t just leave well enough alone), he freezes. he freezes like he does when D puts his hand on my belly to feel his baby brother move.
“I’ll NEVER get to feel the baby move!!” he whines at me this morning. in my early morning (8:30) daze, i explain that not only will he be able to FEEL the baby move, he will in fact SEE the baby move and if his baby brother is anything like he was, hiccups will commence 2-3 times a day and my entire belly will jump rhythmically. for a week now, D has been rushing over every time i tell him the baby is movin’ around. for a week now, D has been disappointed. little does he know.
only 4 more months to go! i have a birth-date now- 10/22/09. that’s the day i get cut! i’m so not looking forward to actually having the baby (either way sucks in my opinion. can’t they just teleport the baby out?) but the trade-off is well worth it. i am looking forward to meeting the kid.

Orbital Sunrise
The Expedition 24 crew on the International Space Station photographed this image of polar mesospheric clouds illuminated by an orbital sunrise. Polar mesospheric, or noctilucent ("night shining"), clouds usually are seen at twilight, following the setting of the sun below the horizon and darkening of Earth's surface. Occasionally the station's orbital track becomes nearly parallel to Earth's day/night terminator for a time, allowing the clouds to be visible to the crew at times other than the usual twilight because of the station's altitude. This photograph shows polar mesospheric clouds illuminated by the rising, rather than setting, sun at center right. Low clouds on the horizon appear yellow and orange, while higher clouds and aerosols are illuminated a brilliant white. Polar mesospheric clouds appear as light blue ribbons extending across the top of the image. The station was located over the Greek island of Kos in the Aegean Sea (near the southwestern coastline of Turkey) when the image was taken at approximately midnight local time. The orbital complex was tracking northeastward, nearly parallel to the terminator, making it possible to observe an apparent "sunrise" located almost due north. A similar unusual alignment of the ISS orbit track, terminator position and seasonal position of Earth's orbit around the sun allowed for this striking imagery of over the Southern Hemisphere.

Enjoy it. With Sprout, my wife’s placenta was inverted–meaning the thicker part usually on the inside was next to the wall of her belly. Pregnancy was normal except for the fact that you could barely feel any kicks from the outside. I didn’t rally get to feel her until she was born.
