It's such a weird feeling. One day you're minding your business and out of
the blue you feel a KICK. At first, I only felt you once. But as the days have
gone by I feel you kicking so much.
Your daddy runs over to my belly to feel
you but you stop when he touches you. I think you just like to keep him in
suspense! Sometimes I'll be at work, just doing my job and my boss will come
over to me and start talking. That's when you will start kicking me and it's
very hard to concentrate because I am giggling.
Today was the first day you consistently kicked, almost like you were playing
the drums or something. It is such a sensational and glorious feeling not only
knowing you're in me, but actually FEELING your presence. So, I sing this in
honor of you:
Come, they told me pa rum pum pum pum
I am a Warkentin pa rum pum pum
pum
I am the gift you'll bring pa rum pum pum pum
And I will be the king
pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, me and my drum!

The moment of truth
18 weeks
Dear Elijah,
Today is the day that we found out you were going to be a boy. We first saw your legs and arms, and we measured your spine. The doctor weighed you (7 oz.) and made a comment about how long your legs were. I drank some caffeine so that you would be awake and move around so that we could find out if you were a boy or a girl.
The doctor said that all of the babies she had looked at that day had been boys. I told her that I thought you would be a boy. Then, she told us that you were a boy. Your daddy was shocked- he was hoping for one, but wasn't really sure you were. But I knew. I knew from the time you were a little bean that you would be my little boy. So when the doctor told us you were, I just looked at her and said "I know".
You were kicking the entire time she tried to measure you and it was hard for her to catch you sitting still. You moved all around mommy's tummy like a little wiggle worm. Finally, you settled down and fell asleep. But we wanted to watch you move around, so the doctor wiggled and jiggled you until you woke up. Then you gave a big stretch... and fell back asleep. We giggled when we saw you stretching and decided that it was always going to be hard to wake you up!
Finally, the nurse asked us if you had a name so that she could type it in the computer. I smiled and said "Elijah Cole". That was when your daddy cried. He realized that this little baby boy was his and he already loved you so much.
You are getting bigger my sweet little boy, and we are very excited to see who you become (although we can already tell you are full of energy!)
Love,
Momma
