Baby knits and kicks

Hey there Boy Boy!

Last week your Daddy had to go for a conference in Qatar, so it was just you and me at home. Thankfully, we had very nice neighbours! Auntie XJ and Uncle W asked Mommy over for dinner almost every night. Since Auntie XJ also has her little angel inside her, Uncle W had to take care of both pregnant mommies at the same time! (Yup, so all the nice food that you had was cooked by Uncle W...) It was fun talking about baby stuff with them. Saw their little girl's ultrasound photos too, which were really clear! Can see the face, hands and feet... so amazing... The both of you may have really close birthdays, or even on the same day!

This is a little hat that I knitted during the break. At that time, we still didn't know whether Auntie XJ's baby (or you, for that matter) was going to be a boy or a girl. So Mommy used this neutral-coloured yarn to knit a little baby hat for your future potential playmate! Reminds me of a 包, don't you think?


Mommy has lots of ideas on what to knit for you as well, but judging from how the first week of school went, Mommy's beginning to wonder if she is going to have any spare time left at all! The amount of readings for each week is quite substantial -- this week, I had to read almost 300 pages for one class! (Of course I didn't manage to finish it...) Now I wish I had paid attention during those speed-reading classes we were made to take back in secondary school...

Daddy's been really excited about feeling your little kicks as well, but you have been really cheeky! You stop kicking every time Daddy puts his hand on Mommy's tummy! Makes me feel like the boy who cried wolf. I don't know if you have can hear your Daddy's voice yet, but he is the one who keeps telling you to "Kick Mommy! Kick Mommy!" He even went to the extent of pointing a fan remote control at Mommy's tummy and pretended that there is a "kick" button on it to activate your movements! Hahaha...

Also, you seem to be more active at night, which is okay for now, but probably not-so-ideal (for us) once you are born... But then again, whoever has heard of parents who have enough sleep when their baby is born... I guess we will just be grateful to have a happy healthy baby like you!

luff,
Mommy
