high five

today you are frequently moving. you made sure that your every somersaults and kicks were felt big time. sometimes i feel like my tummy is going to explode because of your mighty moves. but feeling you move so vigorously is the best thing, knowing that you are healthy and you respond to our every tummy rub :)

just like last night. i placed euan's hand on my tummy to let him feel you move. and after a while, you nudged his hand and euan's jaw just dropped in surprise! it was his first time to feel you and that made him so happy. "that's him doing a high five with you", i said. and so when he put his hand again in my tummy, he said, 'baby, high five!".

at this early, i'm just as glad that for that brief moment, you have bonded with your brother. and i just pray that you will be the best of friends for life.

rhythm of you

today, at five months, you are moving frequently. it gives me a different kind of joy having to feel you more often - your every kick, your every nudge, your every beat. your movement seem to be the language that only you and i share.

you seem to move when there is music but you move ever so vigorously when you hear kuya or papa's voice. it seems to me that you can't wait to see them. well, they are eager to see you too that kuya even wants to go inside my belly so he can play with you!

i am happy that one night, papa felt your nudge. i think it was more of a kick because it was a strong one. i love how you have let him feel you. for that one brief encounter, you just don't know how happy it made him. how much more if you are already here!

we can't wait for the day to finally see you!
