Basically Brooks

WOW! 20 days since the last blog and the Brooks family has been very, very busy! I guess I should tell all you followers out there that this is Kyle posting the blog. Rebecca suggested that I post this blog and has since then fallen asleep, so I guess here goes.....I would like to first start by saying that I have officially felt Ava move. Each time I would go to feel her move she would not kick and as soon as I would walk away she would make a movement. I finally told Rebecca to let me tell her when I felt a kick so that I could distinguish between the movements. This past Saturday I was finally able to feel her precious movements and she actually kicked three times in a row. We went to the doctor this past Monday and everything is just fine. It was an informal appointment with an amazing sound at the end...Ava's heartbeat. The next appointment will consist of Rebecca completing a sugar test.

Ava's getting stronger and stronger every day. That's what the books say and that's definitely what I'm feeling. I started feeling little flutters several weeks ago, and now they are turning into strong movements and rolling. I love feeling her move around inside of me! Kyle can't wait to feel her. He sits patiently on the couch with his hands on my belly-just waiting for her to kick. Unfortunately, I have to learn to control myself when she does because I get so excited and say, "Did you feel that!?" and his answer is,"I don't know because you were talking." So I gotta either work on that or wait until she gets even stronger. I know it may not seem like a very exciting post, but we are really excited about it!
