When I see most people for the first time after telling them that I’m pregnant they embrace me with a hug and congratulate Barry and me. A few people have rubbed my belly and, as I’ve mentioned before, many of my students are at the exact height where tapping on it seems to be a great way to get my attention.
On the eve of Thanksgiving Kara and Ryan stopped by my parents house after they finished their meal and were heading home for the evening. I hadn’t seen Kara in a couple months and she was smiling huge as she bolted towards me. Before I knew it, she gave me a quick hug and was down on her knees cupping my belly yelling in a ultra high-pitched voice, “Hi, Chica!!! Hi Chica!!!”
It was classic. Barry and I can’t quite get the right tone and are wishing that we had an audio clip to play because we’re pretty sure that little Chica loved the recognition from Kara.
awww 🙂 you can always count on Kara to do something amazingly sweet and hilarious like this. Soon Barry should be able to hear her….has he tried? Have you felt her yet?? Carter felt like air bubbles floating along…and NO not like gas! Like actual air bubbles bubbling and popping in there.(better explanation than butterflies like people say) Got your card too 🙂 thank you! Love you guys so much!!!
Dear Little Chica,
We’re very excited for you to join us in this big wide world. There’s so much to see and do!
Kara
