Almost Half-time!!

So, we are in the 19th week period right now, which means we are approaching half-time!! We could hire some big-name band and have a massive blowout, but I am afraid of a wardrobe malfunction and all the paparazzi!! Instead, we are staging the Whiting Annual Picnic to coincide with Half-time!!
Mommy and Bambino are doing well. The Player is becoming more active with the passage of time and I swear I felt a little kick in her belly this week. Becca, unortunately, is riding the hormonal roller coaster. She experienced the soon-to-be famous Blueberry Trip the other day. My lovely bride went out in search of blueberries to pick, only to become lost and without her cell phone to radio an S.O.S. My beautiful wife re-appeared at the house crying and inconsolable. I offered a foot rub, mini-golf, ice cream, and lunch. We finally settled on a trip to Baby Gap . . . and lunch :):)
So, right now the Bambino can hear a bit of what is going on in the outside world!! I read that he/she can remember voices heard while in utero, so we are trying to talk to our baby more frequently. It is kinda weird talking to a belly, I have to admit. Also, I poke the belly while counting aloud, hoping to teach it counting a bit early, which I read actually works. Since the father in this scenario was not terribly good at math, I want our baby to get a bit of a head start!!
