Today marks two milestones: Uncle Frank's 23rd birthday and the midpoint of our pregnancy (20 wks/5 mos), and Liam seems to be aware of both. I started feeling Liam move inside of me a couple weeks ago. There were times where he would be very calm, and there were times I would wonder if I drank a little too much Coke! While lounging on the couch, I just happened to be rubbing my belly and looking at it when my skin poked out on the lower right side! I shrieked in both shock and excitement because it was amazing, yet freaky, at the same time! It reminded me of a scene from a movie where an alien was trying to escape through the belly of a human body (Matrix?), lol. An really wanted to see it too, so we sat there staring for a while, and nothing happened... An said I probably scared him, so he's not going to try that again anytime soon, haha!
This morning, I was sure Liam was going to do some tossing and turning to tell me to get my lazy butt out of bed to feed us, so I told An to just lay his hand on my belly and wait... Sure enough, just as mama expected, he put on a show, and An was SO amazed. It was such a beautiful moment. We laughed and looked at each other, smiling from cheek to cheek... there was a child inside me, growing bigger and bigger each day. Soon, he'll be born, and we'll finally gaze upon what was moving around in my belly -- God's wonderful creation!

Just incase you were wondering what episode I was referring to in the title, here it is. Haha. It's one of our favorites. Chappelle is a genius. We always mimic ghost-Tupac when he says, "I'm alive!"
