Just for kicks

Here is an approximation of what is going on inside Ariane's belly now:


That baby kicks like nothing else. According to the book, if a baby is kicking about ten times every two hours while the mother is lying down and feeling for movement we can consider that to be normal activity. Our baby kicks - seriously - two or three times a minute when Ariane is lying down. And I am talking big kicks. I've tried to get video so you could see some movement, but I haven't gotten any yet. There's still time, though.

We're fairly confident of the following: she will be loud, she will break things. I also am under the impression that she'll be athletic, like her mother was. I'll push her to take on mankind's greatest athletic endeavor: Global Guts.


And when she wins that piece of the Agro Crag, you better believe I'm going to ride those coattails of athletic glory like Richard Williams. I'll claim it was all me, then irresponsibly blow through the millions she'll certainly earn in endorsements (we can name everyone who ever won Global Guts, right? hint: purple never won) so she won't have a chance to be self-destructive with it. Just looking out for my daughter.
