Just a few weeks ago I began feeling Adrian. Looking back I had been feeling her move around for sometime but just as they say when it is your first you never quite know if what you are feeling is truly a baby. It wasnt until I was sitting around the shop with some of my friends in Indiana when they informed me that " No Amanda that is not gas...that is Adrian!" At that moment it all clicked and I have never been so excited! Feeling your baby moving and squirming around in your belly is probably the coolest thing a woman will ever experience. There are no words to describe what it feels like and how it makes you feel. Knowing she is doing well and having that connection with her is amazing. Immediately Nick felt anxious to also feel her..I felt bad that he had not yet had this experience with her but knew that it would just be anytime that she would start kicking for her daddy. This past Sunday morning while laying in bed Nick just happened to have his hand on my belly with the hopes of feeling her and there she went- moving and kicking away! So much that my belly actually moved! Nick jumped and was all smiles from ear to ear. She knew what she was doing and for who (already a daddys girl!), she went ahead and did it one more time for her dad just to make it an even 2 times.
Now I feel her all the time - she especially likes to squirm about when I am in meetings which only helps to keep me entertained. She aslo loves the mornings when I am singing with the radio. So fun!
While in Indiana our family blessed us with a beautiful brunch shower! Jackie, Joy and Krista did a wonderful job at hosting and it was also a great opportunity for Nick and I to see all the women in the family, catch up with them and introduce them to my mom (Nick just joined us at the beginning at then again at the end). We walked home with more clothes than I could ever imagine..some of th ecutest things that I cannot wait to try on her! We also were given our baby swing, bouncy seat, and portable high chair. If you can believe it we were able to bring most everything home with us but Nick will haev to make the journey back up to Indiana to bring home our higg chair and swing- but as you all know he will be anxious to make this trip.
All in all we had a fabulous trip to Indiana. My parents got to experience most of Nicks favorite things- bon fires, beer, good food, bags and family. We spent alot of time just hanging out with each other and visiting. I havent recieved any of my pictures yet from the shower but below are a few hamilton family photos and pictures captured on my phone. When I get the pictures back from my mom I will post these as well.
