Today I am 34 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I have only 40 days to go until my due date on March 8th. Adrian seems to have flipped head down and is generally comfortable with his bottom pushed up against my ribs. It's funny how I used to catch my breath every time I felt him move, and now I can touch him directly and he responds to my touch.
Recently, we've discovered a way to "play" with him. I'm laying on the couch, and Nick is laying next to me, head on my belly, both hands on top of Adrian's bulging form. Right now, Nick is warning Adrian of the ups and downs of life, often stopping mid-sentence to kiss Adrian, "I love you son, I miss you already son, I can't wait to see you..." (these moments make me cry). Adrian is a very obvious pointy bulge under his daddy's chin...he doesn't move while he's talking. I think he can already recognize Nick's voice.
We found a wind-up music box that plays the familiar typical lullaby. We've wound it up and place it on top of where Adrian is. He kicks strongly. We both laugh at my shaking belly and move the music box. Adrian follows it and my stomach bulges out under the music box's new location. Pre-born hide-and-seek. How fun.
Seriously, how can anyone say that life begins at birth?
**Random Note - I had another pregnancy moment yesterday. I was leaving my house and got distracted by the neighbors across the street who had apparently called the police (oh yes, the joys of living where we do). My keys are usually hanging on a hook next to the door, but instead of grabbing them, I left them on the hook, and waltzed into the rain, leaving my keys on their lonely hook. Way to go me. So, I found myself locked out of the house, standing on the porch in the rain, surrounded by my scary neighbors (who thankfully were all in their houses).
It all worked out though because I apparently had another pregnancy moment by leaving my car unlocked (something I never do, which you should know by the amount of times I've left my keys in my locked car - something that wouldn't happen if I wasn't OCD about locking it). So, I sat in my car for an hour and a half until Nick came and rescued me.
The end.

Oh my goodness! I'm so glad your car was unlocked so you didn't have to stand in the rain with scary people!
