It's all about the belly, baby

by K.J. Cardinal

We’re only 44 days away from the birth of our first child together and today marks the first official “baby belly” photo. From the beginning of Angie’s pregnancy we talked about taking a profile picture of Ang’s belly every week and then putting them together as a time lapse photo to see her “grow” (just like we did with the tent for our wedding), but for whatever reason it just never came to fruition.

Needless to say, everything really revolves around the belly right now. Whether it’s what’s covering the belly, what’s going into the belly, how the belly’s moving or how the belly’s doing, it’s ALL BELLY ALL THE TIME. I know that when Angie’s around I’m thinking nonstop about the belly in some regard, so I can’t even begin to imagine how much the belly’s on her mind.

I’m still amazed, and maybe even a little confused, about the fact that there is an actual person inside of her belly. I’ve never been the type of guy who enjoys science, so I don’t get into all the details of the pregnancy and the development of Anna. But, I’ve gotta say, I still get a kick out of feeling Anna kick on a daily basis...I don’t think a father could ever really get sick of that...and I can’t believe how fast she’s growing. I know that it’s a little annoying for Ang, but if I had my way Anna would have hiccups 24 hours a day. It’s a riot to feel these small little body jolts coming from Angie’s belly.

So as you can see and like this post is entitled, “It’s all about the belly, baby.”
