A month ago, I was still feeling constant motion in my belly. Tommy was never still. I'd wake up in the middle of the night and feel him moving as soon as I came awake. During my exams, he'd kick the midwife. He once kicked an ultrasound wand off my stomach. From the moment we first felt him move, he never stopped. Even when I was in labor, minutes before his feet slid out of me, I felt him moving and kicking. It was the most beautiful thing ever.
Or so I thought, until he was born, and his constant movement continued on the outside. I look at him and think, This is how you used to move inside me.
Arms flailing, legs kicking, but finally, in my arms. Yes,
this is the most beautiful thing ever.

What a beautiful boy!
He's absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!!! :)
I got it going on in my tummy right now. Praying that it's the baby and not all the Fair Food I ate yesterday...
He's so sweet!
My oldest was that way, too - moved constantly in utero and he's still that way at almost 7!
Definitely a sweet boy you have!
Carol's kid won't sit still, either, except when I wanted to feel a kick, then, for three days, every time I put my hand on her belly, he sat still. I told him that, when he gets out, I'll be giving him a firm talking to.
Also, yet another reason I should not yet reproduce, my frist thought when reading you post, before I even got to 'what an amazing baby you've created' (which is true), I thought, "GAH! Sit still child!". :-)
I can't wait to meet the little man. My September/early October is booked, but after that I'm wide open. (Just in time for the holidays, do'h!) We should find some place in the middle and meet up for an aternoon....sometime that has as cool a name as "Helen's..."
*sometime*?
how about some place?
Yes, I agree, place is way better.
What a cutie!
yes, indeed it is a beautiful little baby
Erin, these are the best motion shots! He is so sweet. Makes me want another one ;)

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
It is quite amazing to think about... but you are so right. That is a beautiful baby and is beautiful to watch.
You are right, he is totally beautiful.
He's amazing!
awe! congrats!
I enjoyed that with all 3 of my kids -- looking at them after they were born and thinking, "Was THAT what you were doing when I felt like you were stabbing my ribs?!" It's such an amazing miracle!
I must be in for it too because the baby rarely stops!
He's so cute in his long-sleeved jammies! : )
So beautiful!
Sweet boy!
Oh, my, Erin. He is so beautiful and he's growing so much. WOW. It's so amazing to think all that moving and flailing was going on in your belly :)
Love you!!
LOVE this!
He's so precious!
He is so cute and growing like a weed.
He's getting so big! He's ready to get moving momma! Gotta catch up with Big Brother! Cute pics!
Aww so ADORABLE!!!
Wow ... he is edible for sure!! I had the same thoughts, the movement in and out. So very precious time for all of you... enjoy!
He is the most beautiful thing ever! I'd love to just hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and call him George.
SO cute! great pictures!
I love the last picture, he is beautiful.
Motion has never been more miraculous than this...
He is such a beautiful baby. And there is no motion like that movement inside of you; except of course that movement after they're born and you get to cuddle them and watch every little twist, stretch, and kick.
such a beautiful post.
Damn he's cute. Like, in that, he's only on the computer screen, not in my arms, dammit, I want to eat his face and tickle his baby feet senseless RIGHT.NOW. kind of way, and I can't. *sigh*
He is so cute! Such a munchable little face. :)
he's gorgeous! my daughter is now 18 months old and canNOT sit still. life is so exciting when it's new :o)
