Rob & Julie Snow Family Blog

We are getting ready to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. To prepare, Julie is busy sleeping on the couch and watching Darma and Greg! Of course it is 11:30pm. Anyway, be sure to check the blog Tuesday Night!!!!!

One more thing to post.

We just got our first baby outfit. It is turquoise with flowers on the shirt and pants. Very cute and very girly. We'll see if it's the right color and motif. We received them on he part of Julie's Grandparents Raines in Pennsylvania. We are very grateful for their generosity.

Over the last week I put my hand to Julie's belly like four times to try to feel the baby kick. With my hand on Julie's belly and her hand on mine she asked me if I felt anything. Of course the answer was no – With the exception of intestinal rumblings!!! So as you can imagine I was feeling pretty bummed. I didn't really want to try to feel anything because I thought it would still be a while before I would feel the baby, and I didn't want to be disappointed again. So sad.

Well, Yesterday I interacted with my baby for the first time. Julie grabbed my hand and said try to feel this! I'm like alright we'll try again and fail. So here I am with my hand on the belly, trying to feel the slightest movement. Nothing. I waited longer. Finally, I felt a little push. Then another!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I felt my baby move!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was if the baby were saying, "Hello daddy, I love you!" It was so cool.

Hello:

As of today Julie’s circumference has increased from 26” to 31.25”.

She has been feeling baby movements for the last week or so. Unfortunately they are all too faint for me to feel them. 

Yesterday morning Julie woke up and told me she had dreamt about part of a wastewater sewage system known as an anaerobic digester!!!! She was trying to advocate its use to her parents who thought it was weird.

Pregnant women do weird things all the time!!!!
